It’s not the Grease you expect to see, it’s the Grease you need to see.

Bear Grease, by LightningCloud Productions, reimagines the hit 70’s musical, Grease, and takes it on an Indigenous joyride through a parallel universe where colonization never existed. While staying true to some aspects of the original musical, the show revamps certain elements: Sandy wears a ribbon skirt, it’s the Pink Aunties (not the Pink Ladies), Rizzo is Rezzo, and Summer Lovin’ turns into Summer Snaggin’. Bear Grease cleverly fuses Doo Wop, Hip-Hop, and Pow Wow styles with Indigenous fashion, history, and humour, and makes each show reflective of the community it is performed in. If laughter is the best medicine, Bear Grease – also the name of a sacred Indigenous medicine – is just what the doctor ordered.

This production is recommended for audiences aged 12 and older, as it contains coarse language, mature themes, and adult content.
