GREASE Alumni Preview @ Wendy Joy Lindsey Theater
Apr 26 @ 5:00 pm
It’s 1959, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be provocative and rebellious.
This performance features the RED Cast.

 

This special preview performance is open to Pius XI Alumni only! Contact alumni@piusxi.org to receive a promo code to purchase tickets.
