The Ringwald Theatre, the undisputed Champ of Camp, is no stranger to the world of parody. Its wildly popular Summer Camp series proves that year after year.
The Ringwald will hop in the time machine and head back to the 1950s for unending Summer Nights with LUBE: An Unauthorized Grease'd-Up Parody.
Danny (Vince Kelley) and Sandy (Richard Payton) meet cute at the beach but their romance is short-lived, as Sandy has to go back to Australia. Or does she? When Sandy shows up for school at Rydell High, hilarity ensues.
Join Danny, Sandy, Frenchy, Rizzo, Kenicke, and the whole gang for a twisted take on a beloved musical!
