When someone suggested Grease for this summer, I immediately said, “Yes!”  How could I pass up the opportunity to stage a fantastic, high-energy show (which according the new Broadway revival is still as popular as ever!) – and have the summertime show dates in which to cast the show with so many greatLamoille County actors, especially teens and young adults?  I also wanted a show that would appeal to a big audience.  I couldn’t resist!

LCP board member Enid Rosenblum came to the rescue and offered to be my producer. Theatre veterans Shaun Booher and Sara McDonald would round out the artistic team (as music director and choreographer, respectively) so  I knew I was in good hands.   I want to try to develop some new ideas to keep Grease fresh and fun while still giving the cast and audience the familiarity everyone loves and expects.  I’m determined to bring both the excitement of the big screen and most of the original flavor of the “small show” that opened off-Broadway in 1972.  More than anything, I want the audience AND the cast to have fun!
