The kids are learning first hand stories of who these original characters were and the story behind the success of Grease. Plus they are getting feedback on their character roles directly from the writer. It’s really a once in a lifetime experience” –Jillian Porter, Sage Creek Drama Department head.

“I am ecstatic that Sage Creek High School chose my play to be their first ever musical. I also have to say that I am happy that the team talked me into working with them on this production.

These kids are eager to learn and are a lot of fun to work with.” Jim Jacobs Sage Creek will building a brand new theatre, but it will not be finished until December 2016.
