But STAR Rep has had the unique and very amazing opportunity to obtain those rights and to be able to work with the co-writer and creator Jim Jacobs on this production! STAR Rep has also purchased the rights to use the additional movie songs from the John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John version. Join the Pink Ladies, the T-Birds and the rest of the gang at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, and discover why Grease is most definitely the word!

Kenneth Grahame switches genres mid-chapter, offers no consistency on the physics of his fictional world, and his views on class, sex and gender all feel stuffy by today's standards.
