May 29-30, 2026

Self-tape auditions accepted February 1 - 15. Callbacks February 19th, 6-8 PM.

Stage Local is thrilled to announce auditions for Rydell Reunion: A Grease Cabaret — a high-energy, nostalgia-filled cabaret experience created especially for performers ages 30 and older who never got their chance at Rydell High… or are ready to relive it one more time!

With Cumberland University presenting Grease this spring, Rydell Reunion offers a fun, concert-style opportunity to revisit favorite songs from the stage show, the iconic film, and additional sock-hop classics that defined the era.

This is not a full production — it’s a cabaret featuring powerhouse vocals, playful character moments, and retro flair.

Directors note: this is supposed to be a FUN performance for our community-not stressful or competitive.
