GREASE is the word, and the audience members who were Born to Hand Jive filled the seats at the Argenta Contemporary Theatre, 405 Main Street, in North Little Rock, so much so that it sold out quickly for their performances from July 24-August 4, they added another show, and that too filled up as fast as Greased Lightning. To be honest, I knew that would happen. With Book, Music and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, and Directed and Produced by the amazing Vincent Insalaco, Grease is a musical classic, the talent at ACT is always next level, and the educational outreach there has been tremendous. This theatre is a powerhouse staple in Central Arkansas, and I am Hopelessly Devoted to ACT.
