The Phoenicia Playhouse proudly presents… the second Summer Musical of our 50th Season: The iconic 1950's teen musical, Grease!

Music, Lyrics, & Book: Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey

Director: Sydnie Grosberg Ronga
Musical Director: Shannon Sambrook 
Associate Musical Director: Sid Quinsaat
Choreographer: Antonia Scott

Synopsis:
Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys’ and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin’,” “It’s Raining on Prom Night” and “Alone at the Drive-In Movie,” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions, place Grease among the world’s most popular musicals.

Who We Are

The Phoenicia Playhouse is the home of the Shandaken Theatrical Society, a 50-year-old not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing community theater to Shandaken and surrounding communities. Located at 10 Church Street in the heart of Phoenicia, the theater was constructed in 1887 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Over the years it has housed the original charitable and fraternal organization, an auction house, and a movie house. It is now one of the Catskill region’s longest-lived art organizations. The Playhouse has been an important resource for our community for 138 years. Our goal is to keep it thriving for artists and patrons of future generations.

Our Mission

The Phoenicia Playhouse is a performing arts organization that strengthens, invigorates and promotes the Catskills community. Our mission is three-fold: We produce shows, provide a venue for other shows and events, and create educational opportunities through youth and adult workshops. We are committed to drawing residents (full-time and part-time) and travelers together through the experience of the arts. “Community” is the most important part of “Community Theater”.
