When the lights dimmed on the Creative Arts Co-op's stage Saturday evening, it marked the end of another fantastic show. GREASE! closed Saturday night to a packed house, a charged cast, and an out-of-this-world performance.

Twenty high school students - representing two high schools, one private school, and home schoolers - joined forces in January 2011 with one goal, to produce a successful musical. For two months, cast members converged on a stage three nights a week to learn stunts (I do mean stunts), songs, lines, choreography, and characters. They worked through illness and injury for the common good. From carpooling to costuming, students worked together.

And for four shows - just two weekends - those same twenty students lit up the stage. And hopefully, will continue to light up the stage.

Congratulations to everyone involved in GREASE. It was a job well done!
