Theatre Palisades Youth will continue its two-weekend run of “Grease: School Version” with performances at Pierson Playhouse Thursday, July 18, through Sunday, July 21.
“Travel back in time to the summer of 1958, when good girl Sandy and greaser Danny fall for each other during a carefree summer,” read a synopsis provided by TPY. “But when the school year begins, Danny is torn between his feelings for Sandy, and his image with the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies.”
The Theatre Palisades Youth iteration of the show—directed by Lara Ganz—features more than 45 actors, ranging in age from 8 to 18. It is choreographed by Rebecca Barragan and Aaron Jung.
“Grease is, absolutely without a doubt, the word,” Jung said in a statement. “Whether you fell in love with the movie or this is your first time watching ‘Grease,’ you will love this nonstop joyride of dance, song and a small taste of classic Americana. There’s a reason this was a favorite movie for so many of us growing up, and TPY will make you fall in love all over again.”
Performances are set to take place on Thursday, July 18, at 7 p.m.; Friday, July 19, at 5 and 8 p.m.; Saturday, July 20, at 2 and 5:30 p.m.; and Sunday, July 21, at 1 p.m.
Tickets are $22 for general admission and $17 for students/seniors. All performances take place at Pierson Playhouse, located at 941 Temescal Canyon Road.
“Come hear your favorite songs from the movie and Broadway musical, including ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You,’ ‘Greased Lightnin‘’ and ‘All Choked Up,’” the synopsis concluded.
