A Note from the Director:
Set in the late 50s, written in the 70s, and continually revived in the decades since then, Grease is considered by many to be a timeless classic. It's a story of camaraderie, of challenging the status quo and being true to oneself. With this production, we are hoping to take more of a contemporary look at this show and expose many issues within the script and the time period that are often glossed over or watered down in other performances. The production team and I are looking for a cast that is eager to delve a bit deeper into these well-known characters and discover ways to make them more human and genuine. We really want to explore new ways of thinking about these characters, so please come into the audition room with ideas of your own and don't be afraid to try something new! We want to see you succeed and we are rooting for you, so there's no need to be nervous. Bring energy and passion into your audition and take a few risks! I wish you the best of luck!!
Best, Scott D. Miller

Patty: HIIIiiii, Danny! Oh, don’t let me interrupt. I’ve been dying to tell you something. You know what I found out after you left my house the other night? My mother thinks you’re cute. (to Sandy) He’s such a lady-killer. [exits]
SANDY: Isn’t he, though! (Out of corner of her mouth, to Danny) What were you doing at her house?
DANNY: Ah, I was just copying down some homework.
SANDY: (refocus) Well, I need to practice. I’m just dying to make a good impression on all those cute lettermen.
DANNY: Oh, that’s why you’re wearing that thing – getting’ ready to show off your skivvies to a bunch of horny jocks.
SANDY: Don’t tell me you’re jealous, Danny?
DANNY: What? Of that bunch of meatheads! Don’t make me laugh. Ha! Ha!
SANDY: Just because they can do something you can’t do?
DANNY: Yeah, sure, right.
SANDY: Okay, what have you ever done?
DANNY: (Thinking a moment) I won a Hully-Gully contest at the “Teen Talent” record hop.
SANDY: Aaahh, you don’t even know what I’m talking about.
DANNY: Wattaya mean, look, I could run circles around those jerks.
SANDY: But you’d rather spend your time copying other people’s homework.
DANNY: Listen, the next time they have tryouts for any of those teams I’ll show you what I can do.
SANDY: Big talk.
