The American Gothic Performing Arts Festival closes its 2026 season with Grease, a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. The show captures a moment in 1950s America when youth, rebellion, and self-expression were beginning to redefine what it meant to belong. Performances are scheduled for June 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and June 28 at 2 p.m. Prior to each performance, a retro-inspired dinner or lunch is prepared by BVC Executive Chef Adam Hunt.
