Cumberland High School drama has been working on this years musical Grease to be performed March 30, 31, April 1 and 2. The performances of Grease will take you back to the bobby sox, gum chewing rock n roll music of the 1950s. The story is set during Rydell High’s spirited class of ’59. The hubcap stealing, hot rod loving Greasers consist of Travis Thorp, Kyle Pherson, Derek Theese, James Hoisington, Co Walker. The Pink Lady wise cracking girls include Elizabeth Brown, Kerri Dehline, Amanda Dusel, and Shanna Webb.
The plot focuses on the hip Danny Zuko (Thorp) and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski (Erica Sampson) as they try to resolve the problems of their mutual attraction. Additional cast members include: Jodi Krueger, Cammy Gidio, Hannah Kollock, Ole Odden, Ben Amundson, Dustin Degolier, Lindsey Koser, David Hile, Joe Eastman and Sarah Jergenson. The cast sings and dances its way through such nostalgic scenes as the pajama party, the prom, the burger palace, and the drive in movie. The direction of the play is a joint effort between Ann Ethen, Dan Hopkins and Phil Warner. The musical Grease Pit includes the talents of Dustin Degolier, Jordan Bowen, Jay Blaskowski, Brita Renstrom and Lindsey Neby.
Greases eight year run made Broadway history and its recent long running revival put it among today’s most popular musicals. This 1950s rock n roll production has become a household name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
