SynopsiGrease is a vibrant and nostalgic Broadway musical set in the 1950s, capturing the essence of teenage rebellion, love, and friendship. With a toe-tapping soundtrack featuring classic hits like “Summer Nights” and “Greased Lightnin’”, the story follows the romance between the rebellious Danny Zuko and the sweet Sandy Dumbrowski as they navigate the complexities of high school life at Rydell High. Filled with iconic characters, electrifying dance numbers, and an infectious energy, Greasedelivers a timeless celebration of youth, self-discovery, and the magic of summer nights.We are honored to officially announce our alumni branch of KCMT, “Encore!” This new chapter in KCMT history will showcase our adult KCMT alumni, who will produce a show of their choosing each summer. We have asked the Encore! Executive Team to select productions that will reach beyond younger families, including classics that will appeal to teen and adult audiences. The skills our performers learn at KCMT reach far beyond the stage, and we are delighted that the kids who grew up at KCMT are choosing to come back and use these skills to serve in their 20s and 30s. Encore! will truly bring us full circle by creating a program for our performers to age into rather than aging out of KCMT when they graduate. This new branch of KCMT will make an even stronger foundation upon which our organization can grow and thrive, furthering our mission to create a place “where every child can shine”!Abou Encor!SCENE 1Grease .....................................
