—GREASE Go greased lightning; you ' re burnin ' up tlic quarter mile. Burnin ' up the stage is what the East Noble actors and actresses did during their presentation April 23-26, of the Broadway musical Grease. Directed by Craig Monk and Nancy Walburn, Grease is a story of reunited summer love. The action takes place at Rydell High with the T-birds and Pink Ladies on a set designed very nicely by the EN sliigccraft and auto mechanics classes. Casting made all the difference. With newcomers and old timers, this production sparkled. Taking the audience back to the 50 ' s, senior Mark Duehmig and sophomore Jo Toporas in the lead roles of Danny Zuko and ■ Sandy Dumbrowski, dazzled viewers with . their charisma and spunk. Duehmig sizzled as Danny Zuko, while singing Summer Nights, Alone at a Drive-In, and teamed with Toporas in All Choked Up. Toporas, as well, captured the audience with her clear voice while singing Summer Nights, It ' s Raining on Prom Night, Look at Me, I ' m Sandra Dee (Reprise), and All Choked Up. Jeannine Allers, fresh from the streets of New York, ignited interest, to say the least, as tough Marty. Allers also did an excellent job singing, Freddy, My Love along with the rest of the Pink Ladies. A Californian, Brad Kline, playing Sonny, also fit his part well. Kline often churned out lines which made the audience , chuckle. Sophomores Gavin Replogle and Kristin Frick entertained as well as amused at uppity Patty Simcox and social misfit Eugene Florczyk. These two, with body language alone, created laughter. Junior Mandy Diehl and senior Phil Larson showed their versatility as Frenchy, Teen Angel and Doody. Diehl let a new side of herself come out, with touching emotions, as the beauty school drop out. Larson ' s voice was terrific during his Teen Angel rendition of Beauty School Drop-Out. Junior Nan Barker and senior Dave Ritchie created memorable scenes as Rizzo and Keneckie. Barker charmed the audience with her sassy attitude and energetic singing during Look at Me, I ' m Sandra Dee and There Are Worse Things I Could Do. Ritchie also leads a rousing rendition of Greased Lightning, along with the T-birds and Dudes. Sophomore Aren Munk as Jan blended well with senior Brad Graden as Roger. Graden and Munk, created beautiful music together while singing Mooning. Text By Amy Smith Above: Maybe the wine was a little to much for Jeannine Allers , thought Nan Barker and Aren Munk. Below: Jo Toporas sings her heart out. 26
