Grease: School Edition
On February 27, 28 and March 1, 2025, high school students from the Cypress Christian School Performing Arts Department brought the stage to life with an incredible production of Grease: School Version—a full-length musical comedy by Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs, adapted for young performers and suitable for all audiences.
Audiences were transported back to 1959, where good girl Sandy (Danielle Robertson, Class of ’26) and greaser Danny (Micah Humphrey, Class of ’25) fell for each other during a carefree summer romance. But when the school year begins and Sandy unexpectedly transfers in, Danny finds himself torn between his true feelings for her and maintaining his tough-guy image with the T-Birds and Pink Ladies.
Fans of the musical were thrilled to hear iconic songs from both the Broadway show and the movie, including “Hopelessly Devoted”, “Greased Lightnin’”, “You’re the One That I Want” and many more! Cast members expressed their excitement over performing a lighthearted comedy—an enjoyable shift from past productions filled with life-or-death stakes.
The production featured a talented ensemble, including the T-Birds: Kenickie (Jeykei Ortiguero, ‘27), Doody (Caleb Poirrier, ‘27), Roger (Gabe Caldwell, ‘26), Sonny (Logan Oliverson, ‘26) and Johnny Casino (Aidan Salazar, ‘26). While the Pink Ladies brought their signature style and attitude with Rizzo (Erica Davenport, ‘26), Frenchy (Madison Mynes, ‘27), Marty (Emily Muse, ‘25) and Jan (Isabella LeSpade, ‘27).
Friday night’s performance included a special recognition for the Class of 2025 seniors, honoring their dedication both on stage and behind the scenes. The fifteen seniors involved in the production were: Avery Connelly (Miss Lynch), Grayson Eichelberger (Featured Ensemble), Sasha Farrington (Camera Director), Anna Fernandez (Hair and Makeup), Micah Humphrey (Danny), Brooklyn Kyrish (Ensemble), Mia Nguyen (Camera Operator), Kristen Meyer (Cha-Cha DiGregorio), Emily Muse (Marty), Katie Schmitt (Stage Manager), David Romero (Vince Fontaine), Nicole Santos (Patty Simcox), Amanda Taylor (Run Crew), Ester Torres-Pinhiero (Featured Ensemble) and Jadie Weatherly (Hair and Makeup).
The cast and crew dedicated three months of hard work and countless memories to bring this classic musical to life. Their directors and parents couldn’t be prouder of their efforts, as they use their talents to glorify God and His kingdom. Congratulations to the Grease: School Version cast and crew! We eagerly await the announcement of the Tommy Tune Awards later this month and can’t wait to see how HIS gifts continue to shine through your performances.
