Theater Casting Call for "Grease" Show
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for "Grease" play. See the details below. About the show: 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. Rate: Non-Equity, volunteer production. Additional information: "Grease" runs from Friday, May 8, to Saturday, May 23, 2026. Tech Week is scheduled from Sunday, May 3, to Thursday, May 7, 2026. The first rehearsal will be on Sunday, February 15, 2026 at 1:00 pm. Rehearsals will be held three times a week: two weeknights and a weekend afternoon. Please prepare one slow song and one up-tempo. One song should be from the general time period of the show (1950s). Please do not prepare any songs from "Grease". There will be no accompanist. Directors encourage you to bring a karaoke or backing track that can be shared via Bluetooth. Alternatively, you may sing a cappella. Walk-ins are welcome but will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. They kindly request that all audition participants wear a mask upon arrival at the theatre and while waiting for their audition slot. If you're interested, please apply.

Female-Presenting. Leader of the Pink Ladies. She is tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable. Unconventional good looks.
Female-Presenting. A dreamer. Good-natured and dumb. Heavily made-up, fussy about her appearance – particularly her hair. She can’t wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician.
Female-Presenting. The “beauty” of the Pink Ladies. Pretty, looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. Tries to act sophisticated.

Female-Presenting. Strong dancer. A blind date. Slovenly and loud-mouthed. Takes pride in being “the best dancer at St. Bernadette’s”.
Male-Presenting. The class valedictorian. Physically awkward, with weak eyes and a high-pitched voice. An apple-polisher, smug and pompous but gullible.
