GREASE To Open Theatre Group At SBCC Season

The Theatre Group at SBCC will start the season July 11-28, 2018 in the Garvin Theatre with the energetic musical, GREASE, book, lyrics and music by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.

Meet Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "T-Birds" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, and celebrate the '50's with one of the best-loved musicals of all time. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to restore the romance of their Summer Nights as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as Greased Lightnin', We Go Together and You're the One that I want, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. So gather your family and friends and join us for some Summer Lovin' at the Garvin Theatre.

This summer's production will feature Hazel Brady, Chris Carmona, Christian Duarte, Will Geare, Josie Gillingham, Grace Gibbs, Aurora Cassandra Gooch, Justin Kang, Tessa Miller, Penny O'Mahoney, Ryan Ostendorf, Elvis Pagano, Chloe Grace Roberts, Hannah Robinson, Daniel Sabraw, Vivian Shay, Kody Siemensma, Irving Soto, Leslie Ann Story, Zachary Allen Thompson, Ciara Tolliver, Aren Vaughn, Aliza Anais Amaryllis Walton and Ben Zevallos.
