Pacific Ridge Goes To Grease

Lauren McMillen and J. Kieran Naughton bring Grease’s Sandy and Danny to life.

Students from Carlsbadistan’s Pacific Ridge School took audiences back to Rydell High last week with sell-out performances of the musical Grease. The students (grade 7 to 11) performed for more than 1,000 community members during the amazingly well-produced shows.
