Marymede Catholic College in South Morang is ready to perform their rendition of the classic 1971 musical, Grease over three nights starting Thursday, May 26.
The dedicated cast has been rehearsing since February, setting time aside at least twice a week to prepare for their first performance in two years.
The cast and crew of about 60 have worked tirelessly to memorise lines and lyrics, nail the dance routines and set the scene with props and stage fittings.
Performing arts assistant and production manager Ellen Lane said the production has given the students an opportunity to form new relationships.
“We’ve obviously got a cast and crew ranging from year seven to 12, so it’s great to see the different year levels mixing and creating friendships,” Ms Lane said.
“The school has done Grease before, I think it was run about 10 years ago so it’s sort of a bit of a blast from the past.”
The production will take place at Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre (PRACC) with hundreds of tickets already sold.
