Concert Review: Geese Fly Wild at Roadrunner

Cameron Winter and the Brooklyn rockers stretch the songs of “Getting Killed” into a volatile mix of restless grooves, surreal asides, and singalong catharsis. The flight path of Geese leads to disorienting extremes.

Taunton High School students to bring 'Grease' to life

The Taunton High School Drama Club will present the production, according to a community announcement.

The musical features familiar songs and scenes, including "Greased Lightnin'," "Beauty School Dropout," the Rydell Fight Song and the hand jive. Director Justine O'Brien, a former THSDC student, said the show's themes extend beyond its well-known music."Grease at its core is more than just catchy tunes and iconic lines,” O'Brien said. “It showcases the everyday struggles of high school cliques and trying to find the place you belong and people you belong with.” O'Brien said returning to the program as director has special meaning. The director said they feel “blessed to return now and guide students through the same formative arts education that I experienced.” According to the announcement, the drama club gives students opportunities to participate in multiple aspects of theater production, including building sets, performing and developing musical
