Arts and Performances
Film: “Grease” (1978)
Summer Film School hits a different jive this week in its genre tour with a discussion of musicals by way of “Grease” and its 1970s nostalgia of the 1950s. A classic summer love odd couple is reunited when a wholesome exchange student (Olivia Newton-John), who doesn’t drink and doesn’t swear and doesn’t rat her hair, arrives at Rydell High and re-meets leather-clad Danny (John Travolta), whose persona has shifted once back in his element. Rated PG, 110 minutes. Those enrolled in Summer Film School should arrive at 6:30 p.m. for a lecture. The screening begins at 7 p.m. and is followed by a discussion.
