HARTSELLE, Ala. – Hartselle Theatre is set to bring the beloved musical “Grease” to life with a family friendly, school edition adaptation at Hartselle High School auditorium from March 11-15. This production features a cast of 57 students from Hartselle Junior High and High School, supported by a dedicated team of over 50 crew members working behind the scenes.
This school edition of “Grease” maintains its nostalgic charm and high-energy musical numbers that audiences know and love while adapting the content for younger performers and viewers. Additionally, this adaptation features a shorter runtime for families who want to enjoy a night at the theatre while still getting home at a reasonable hour on school nights.
Director Lisa King shared her excitement about bringing this show to the community, “I want to create a nostalgic experience for those who grew up with the songs and story while also introducing this classic to a new generation.”
For the students involved in the production, pride doesn’t even begin to cover it. Alida Stinson, student marketing assistant for Hartselle Drama, shared why this show holds such significance for her and her fellow cast members. “As a student deeply involved in this production, I am so proud of the creativity we’ve brought to this classic musical. The themes of self-discovery, friendship, young love and the ups and downs of high school life at Rydell High really just hit home for us,” Stinson shared. “Grease is more than just a fun show; it’s an important way for us to explore important lessons and present the passions we have for the performing arts. Our cast and crew have been giving their all to make this show as memorable as it can be, and we can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
Performances will take place on March 11 at 7 p.m. for a Friends and Family Preview Night with discounted tickets, followed by shows March 13-15 at 7 p.m., and a matinee performance on March 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available for $25 for reserved seating, $15 for general admission (adults) and $12 for students and seniors.
