Monti High presents “Grease”

MONTICELLO, NY — This year’s Monticello High School musical production will be the musical blockbuster “Grease” by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. Based on the Broadway smash (now being revived on Broadway), it is set in 1959 in fictional Rydell High in Chicago, and follows the lives of two star-crossed summer lovers (Eric Mayberg and Chante Simon) amid a pack of ultra-cool 1950s greasers and their Pink Lady gals. The show features favorite songs such as “Summer Nights,” “We Go Together,” and “Greased Lightning.”

The public performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24, in the Arnold Packer Hughs Auditorium. Show tickets are priced at $5 for adults and $3 for students, and can be obtained at the door. Senior citizens are admitted free.

For more information call 845/794-8840, ext. 10993.
