It’s 2023 and the local theater club at the predominantly South Asian high school in Edison, New Jersey is putting on GREASE! The classic American assimilation musical makes waves with the student actors, their high school society, and the immigrant parent audiences who are in their own adolescent years in this new country. There’s high school drama, life imitating art, and everyone is forced to ask - what does it truly take to fit in? A solo show inspired by the real-life production of GREASE at JP Stevens High School in Edison, NJ - also known as Little India. Drawing from a series of interviews of the cast, parents, and the surrounding community, as well as the playwright’s own experiences as a brown Jersey girl and certified theater kid, GREASEY is a tapestry of vibrant and brave South Asians, and what it takes to define yourself as an immigrant in America.
