This year’s fall show put on by GVPAA is Grease! This is a classic show from an even more classic movie. Done previously by GVPAA years ago, it is time for its revival.
Show dates are the 16th to the 18th of November with three night time shows (starting at 6:30 pm) and one matinee show (starting at 1:30 pm). Everyone is welcome to come see the show and enjoy the 1950s atmosphere created by our cast, crew, and parent volunteers!
If you have the time, and enjoy the movie, seeing our production of Grease is a great option!
