The award-winning local theatrical group, Kenley Holiday Workshop, will present Grease at the Barn Theatre Oxted from 14th–17th August. Returning to Oxted for their regular summer season this talented team of 50 young people will sing and dance their way through such memorable numbers as 'Summer Nights', 'You're The One That I Want' and 'Greased Lightning'. The company are led by a talented professional production team and are accompanied by a live band of seven professional musicians. The high standards achieved have led to the group winning a NODA London 'Young Stars' award. The company was founded in 1989 by Sally Dallosso, the Company Manager, and Andrea Atkinson who has choreographed every show since 1989. This year Sarah Morrison will direct and Michael Burbidge will be Musical Director. For the summer show KHW meets at the beginning of August for a week of intensive rehearsals in Caterham before moving to the Barn Theatre in Oxted for the second week of final rehearsals and performances from the Wednesday to Saturday. Set in late 1950's America, Grease has a background of diners, drive in movies and an American High School. This young and talented group will be pulling on leather jackets and donning bobby socks to bring you the story of girl next door Sandy, bad boy Danny and their teenage troubles in this classic summer romance. Their "will they, won't they" tale is accompanied by the songs made famous in the much loved 1978 movie and an energetic cast recreating the dance styles of the late 1950's – complete with swirling skirts and ambitious quiffs.
