WHY ENGAGE WITH THE ARTS

Adapted from “Learning Through the Arts” by Dee Dickinson

• The arts provide opportunities for expression—bringing the innerworkings of ourselves out into the world around us.

• The arts give us a language that all people can speak, connectingus culturally and socially by breaking down the barriers ofeconomics and education.

• The arts allow us to learn about and appreciate other cultures.

• The arts provide the means for everyone to learn, improvingacademic achievement through test scores, and enhancing socialskills as well as critical and creative thinking.

• The arts make it possible to use personal strengths in meaningfulways, allowing bridges to understanding difficult abstractions.

Learning to trust and develop friendships while engaged in creativity brings the connection down to one-on-one and allows the larger community to gather and experience the arts together.

*2015–2016 John Belushi/Second City Memorial Scholarship Recipient

Grease is sometimes seen as a “good girl gone bad” love story, but I think that’s missing the central point of the piece. On the surface, it’s the story of “cool” high schools kids in the ’50s, who amuse the audience with defiant pranks and first love woes. More deeply, it deals with the struggle of growing up.

Sandy and Rizzo aren’t so different; both are scared to death, but it takes being shaken up by the other to really confront and ‘see’ themselves. Kenickie isn’t just a ‘tough guy.’ He cares about someone deeply, and when an event happens that confuses him, he is hurt and hides behind his anger. Danny is a boy torn between maintaining his ‘leader’ status and showing his true feelings.

Having, developing and growing relationships often mean meeting halfway. ALL of the characters in Grease come to understand this. It’s at times humorous or endearing. Sometimes it pulls at our hearts to watch these teenagers gather all of their courage to step away from whatever ‘mold’ they’ve created for themselves (or that others have created for them), and stand up in front of peers and themselves AS the person they choose to be.

In addition to this piece being fun and full of youthful energy, this group “goes together,” to quote the iconic song, because they need and support one another through joy and pain. The tough exteriors belie the feelings these people are experiencing, until they’re confident enough to “own” them.

We hope you have as much fun as we have had, working on Grease. The Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies are about to take over this theatre, as they’re taking over Rydell High; they’ll be joining you in the audience often, so be ready!

Thanks for joining us. “A wop-baba-lu-bop!”~Connie Canaday Howard
