operate as a separate, non-profit theatre company, now known as Cassidy
Theatre Inc., since becoming independent from the City of <ST1:CITY
w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">Parma Heights</ST1:PLACE></ST1:CITY> this
year. Director Kevin Joseph Kelly says <EM>Grease</EM> is a great way to
start a fun Summer Theatre Season at the newly independent theatre.
“It’s a perfect summer show to do” he says. “It’s a lot of fun and the
summer craves something for everybody to go to. It really is a family
show.” Kelly adds “Now that the Cassidy is an independent theatre, I
think it’s a great way to bring new people into the theatre who may be there
for the first time.”<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><U1:P></U1:P></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><EM>Grease</EM> is a musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren
Casey. Set in 1959 in fictional Rydell High in <ST1:CITY w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE
w:st="on">Chicago</ST1:PLACE></ST1:CITY>, the show focuses on the romance
between high schoolers Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski and tackles such social
issues as teenage pregnancy and gang violence; its themes include love,
friendship, teenage rebellion, sexual exploration during adolescence and, to
some extent, class consciousness/class conflict. The show's score celebrates
'50s rock and roll as well as doo-wop and other contemporary styles.
