This year the drama club produced the famous musical, Grease. Not only was the performance top notch, but the work that went into the entire production was amazing. Many of the details that often get overlooked like the posters and ticketing were actually part of the production. There wasn’t just one poster that was plastered around the school, there were multiple bulletin boards that were dressed up in glitzy fifties style. There must have been thirty different posters and they were each individual and represented a different aspect of the play or the fifties setting.

As for the performance itself, the acting was great. It is always fun to see friends playing various characters, especially in a musical that is as fun as this. My favorite scenes were when Ricky Washington “drove” greased lightning on stage. The imagination that went into that key prop was good. Another favorite scene was the “Summer Nights” number. It was really great to see how well so many cast members were able to work together to make this number work. The small details that many cast members put into their roles to make them funny shows just how much work went into this production.

The finally number “We Will Always Be Together” was a nice ending to the well thought out, directed, produced, and acted play. Both the acting and the singing were great. I hope the drama club will continue in the future, as it has in the past, to create great entertainment for the PHS students.
