Grease
The 1993 Davitt College Production
You're The One That I Want
Returning to the stage by popular demand, our 1994 production of Grease brought high-energy rock 'n' roll and Rydell High romance back to Davitt College.
🕺 A Phenomenal Return
First staged at the college in 1987 to immense acclaim, Grease returned to the spotlight in 1994. Charting the timeless romance between Danny and Sandy alongside the lives of the T-Birds and Pink Ladies at Rydell High, the production captured the vibrant spirit of 1950s rock 'n' roll culture.
■ Transition Year Dedication
Directed and produced by Michael Brett, this production heavily featured Transition Year students who handled props, publicity, and set design. Supported by musical direction from Phil Duffy and choreography from past pupil Jason Guthrie, the cast delivered an unforgettable run of classic hits.
