Mon Dec 8, Tue Dec 9, 7:30pm |Get ready for two nights only! Bear Grease dares to reimagine the iconic 1972 musical Grease through a bold and comedic Indigenous lens. With a powwow-powered soundtrack and hip-hop flair, this high-energy, all-Indigenous production transforms classic hits into cultural celebration: “Hopelessly Devoted” becomes a Round Dance, “Bear Grease Lightning” pulses with traditional footwork, and “Wichihin” offers a powerful new take on “Stand by Me.”
Created by husband-and-wife duo LightningCloud, Bear Grease is a grassroots response to the lack of Indigenous representation in theatre. Now a touring sensation with over 200 performances and an Off-Broadway debut, the show has captivated audiences across North America.
Blending language, dance, humour, and heart, Bear Grease is a hilarious homage, a cultural reclamation, and an unforgettable experience that leaves audiences laughing, cheering, and deeply moved.
We acknowledge “Bear Grease the Musical” was written in Treaty 6 Alberta, land and traditional territories of the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuline’ (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux) and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot)
