Grease opens December 3
Some say "the third time is the charm" but so were the first and second! Imagination Theater is once again presenting the popular musical, Grease, running December 3 through December 26. A whole new generation of local young talent will perform this wildly energetic and entertaining show. Grease was Imagination Theater's premiere production in 2001 and was so successful they revived it in 2005.
Originally staged as an amateur production in a Chicago trolley barn, Grease takes a satirical look at the dress, manners, morals, and music of teenagers at the beginning of the rock and roll era. Grease is being co-directed by theater founders, Peter Wolfe and Lanny Langston. Jeremy Carlson, the Beast in IT's 2009 production of Beauty and the Beast, is the vocal director. Jerri Myers, a veteran of many productions throughout the Sacramento area, is the music and band director. Vanessa Lathrop, owner of Foothill Dance Studios, is the choreographer. Local musicians provide the energetic, live rock and roll music.
