INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — What fun to catch a Broadway play right here in Incline with our own local talent on display.
For the past few years the Incline High School has presented some of my all-time show favorites on the Incline High School theater stage —- “Oliver!,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Cinderella” and “Lost Horizon” — and each one has been a great chance to enjoy an evening at the theater Incline style.
This year Incline High School has selected the production “Grease.” The show opened on Broadway in 1972 and closed after 3,388 shows in 1980 continuing on to become a film as well as a favorite for community, high school and middle school drama groups. The original Broadway version set in 1959 was raunchy, raw, aggressive and even vulgar.
Incline High's much tamer version still features all of the favorite songs and an all star cast of IHS students in the familiar roles. If you have missed an IHS favorite, Jordan Cronin, in other productions, don't miss him this year as it is his last year on stage for Incline High. He will be appearing as Johnny Casino, the rock-star student of Rydell High and the Teen Angel in the song, “Beauty School Dropout.”
Other students appearing in Grease include: Miles Buergin as Danny Zuko; Erin Canino as Sandy and Matt Davis as Kenickie; Erika Wegener will play Rizzo and Taylor Smith as Frenchy with Justine Nelson and Dani Flores as the well-known Pink Ladies; Chloe Bolton plays Cha-cha, Madison Kwasny is Eugene, Chelsea Hollingsworth is Patty Simcox, Katherine Lange as Miss Lynch and Alec Flores as Vince Fontaine; Kevin Wegener, Laurence Jolley and Annamarie Mariliano round out the cast. Wait until you see the talent in this group.
High school students are also performing in the live band conducted by Terry Pittman and the play is directed by IHS English teacher Tom Canino.
To attend you have several opportunities as “Grease” runs nightly at 6 p.m. from Wednesday, March 17 through Saturday, March 20. Tickets are only $10 or $6 for students and can be purchased at either The Potlatch or the high school.
Don't miss the opportunity to see “Grease,” Incline style or hear songs like “Greased Lightening” and “Beauty School Dropout” as well as catch the dances choreographed by Mindy Wegener and Kelli Maiocco.
It is sure to be another special IHS production!
