“Tell me more! Tell me more!” The Firehouse Theatre presents Grease, running August 6-23. Directed by Owen Beans, Music Directed by Jason Philip Solís and Choreographed by Caitlin Martelle, this beloved Broadway classic is a vibrant celebration of young love, lifelong friendships, and the irresistible energy of 1950’s rock ‘n roll.

Set in the halls of Rydell High in the late 1950s, Grease follows the whirlwind romance of sweet Sandy Dumbrowski and charismatic “greaser” Danny Zuko after a summer fling. When the two unexpectedly reunite at school, they discover that fitting in with friends and living up to expectations can complicate matters of the heart. Bursting with humor, heart, and high-energy dance numbers, Grease remains one of the world's most beloved musicals, celebrating the excitement, challenges, and timeless spirit of teenage life. 

"I am incredibly excited to bring Grease to The Firehouse Theatre stage,” says Director and Artistic Producer Owen Beans. “We've assembled a stellar cast and creative team that are putting on a show you’re not gonna want to miss. For die-hard fans of the movie, you'll get to experience some of those iconic moments live on stage, right in front of you along with some fresh new surprises. And if you've never made a trip to Rydell High before, you'll still fit right in!"

Tickets to Grease are $41 for adults and $37 for students, seniors, educators, and first responders. Saturday matinee performances are $37. Walk-up $20 rush tickets are available 30 minutes before Thursday night performances and must be purchased in-person at the box office. (Rush tickets are $17 plus a $3 convenience fee and are subject to availability.)
