I attended a performance of Grease on April 16th in the Pasant Theatre. Having seen both the 1978 film and FOX’s Grease Live! I was very curious to see how this specific performance would compare to the others. The musical Grease is the epitome of sexuality, rebellion, and teenage drama. What made Michigan State’s version of this beloved musical so special was that it used the script from the original Broadway production and incorporated all of its unfiltered glory into various design elements.…

Ponyboy and I were walking through a local park. Then all of a sudden we seen, two Socs, Bob and Randy. They walked up to us just to start drama. As usual Bob said, ‘’greasers, who will we start with first?’’ I was so scared, I can’t even blink. They grabbed Ponyboy and pushed him to the fountain.

Another cause of adjustment to one’s identity that one may destruct themself is in distinction…

It also takes you through the experience of peer pressure, politics, personal core values and…
