Grease is the Word at the Weathervane this Summer

WHITEFIELD, NH—New Hampshire’s award-winning Weathervane Theatre is pleased to announce it will present Grease— the original high school musical. Classic and nostalgic, this all-new production of the beloved musical will open on July 9th.

Put on your poodle skirts, pedal pushers, and leather jackets, and hand-jive your cares away in Grease! Set in 1959 at Rydell High, “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 the soundtrack of a generation featuring the unforgettable tunes “Greased Lightnin’,” “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re that I Want,” and more! Rollicking and electrifying, Grease is the word for perfect summer entertainment.

Weathervane’s Intern Program Director, Marisa Kirby, will direct and choreograph the production. Kirby directed and choreographed last season’s The Wedding Singer. Also Weathervane’s resident choreographer, Kirby has choreographed many crowd-pleasing Weathervane productions, including Sister Act, Hello, Dolly!, Green Day’s American Idiot, and Jesus Christ Superstar.

“I am so excited to be back at the Weathervane for Season 60, and I couldn’t be any more excited to direct and choreograph Grease,” said Kirby. “We all love Grease—the movie, the songs, and the dance moves. It will be a blast you don’t want to miss!”

Performing in alternating repertory, Grease runs July 9 – August 16, 2025. Special events for Grease include an opening night champagne reception (July 9), costume contest (August 2), and trivia night (August 6).  

Subscriptions and single tickets for Grease are on sale now at weathervanenh.org. Casting and additional creative team will be announced this spring. Grease is sponsored by Kerner’s Car Wash & Quick Lube.
