Vinton, Sorensen Star In Musical Production of ‘Grease’ “It’s been a lot of hard work, but there never was a dull moment,” said junior Becky Vinton, describing the efforts of the cast and crew for the spring musical, “Grease.” The musical chronicles the story of a “roughneck” boy and an “inno- cent” girl who meet during the sum- mer, but when school starts they find it difficult to continue their relation- ship. The play proves how far a per- son will go to be accepted. Senior Ron Sorensen and Becky starred as the two teenagers who try to cope with the pressure of their so- cial classes. The BHS students’ production of “Grease,” written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, included many of the hits from the broadway show such as “Greased Lightnin’” and We Go Together.” “All of us involved developed a spe- cial camaraderie that made the mu- sical work,” said senior Scott Hansen who played Sonny, a member of the “T-Birds.” Mrs. Jean Hundtoft directed the school’s production of “Grease.” She was aided by musical director Dave Carlsen. The musical played to full houses all three nights. “From all the compli- ments and positive comments from people, many I didn’t even know, I feel it was worth it,” said junior George Bower, who played Roger, on the pub- lic’s reaction to the play. The new Sandy (Becky Vinton) impresses Danny (Ron Sorensen). The two switched roles, trying to please the other. Sandy (Becky Vinton) sings about her sor- rows.
