Grease Lightening!
The production :: The students from the Blanchard Middle School performed a fun, upbeat school version of the 50’s musical Grease last week at the Blanchard Middle School auditorium. The play was presented by the Blanchard-Stony Brook Productions and featured talented kids from grades six to eight at the school. The cast, crew, volunteers, band and staff worked diligently to prepare for the four performances that were held from November 30th to December 2nd, 2007. All four performances sold out. On the last day, the auditorium was packed and there was not one seat left.
The cast :: The cast consisted of Sandy Loomis who played blonde-haired blue-eyed “Sandy”, and “Danny” was played by Ben Davis, who together with his Burger Palace Boys, seemed to be comically obsessed with their greased-slicken hair. Pink Ladies were played by Becky Wilkinson, Emily Morency, Jillian Frankel, and Brianna Mutkowski. Burger Palace Boys were played by Chris Kandra, Brendan Donohue, Daniel Regan, and Alex Casperson. There were so many other cast members and students involved in the other parts of the play, that each and every one was instrumental in making Rydell High come alive.
Feedback :: We have always enjoyed the Blanchard-Stony Brook school productions, and this one, did not disappoint either. We were impressed by the overall professionalism of the production, from the sets, to the costumes, choreography and the songs that these kids belted out scene after scene. Overall, it was a fun and entertaining evening for the whole family. Great job kids!
