_Laurie_ Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hey Guys...This year our company is doing a "Grease Theme" at camp. Our residents need to do a short, simple skit. Our house has all guy residents. I was thinking maybe the grease lightning scene would be good. The costume/wardrobe part is pretty easy, but I would have to have some kind of simple made car for the scene...just cut out of a large piece of cardboard maybe? any other simple ideas?...or suggestions for another scene from Grease? Our company also has a couple houses that have all girls living there...I've thought of contacting them to combine a skit together, but haven't asked them about it yet... Any ideas would be appreciated...thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutzpah Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 The good thing about the 50's cars are they were sort of square...So,Get the biggest cardboard box you can find (or maybe 2)Cut out the wheels,square headlights...I think the trunks were sort of square too...And I think the top was sort of square too...(no square tires though) a little paint(or magic markers)and you got it...

miamisammy29 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 TOP TEN IDEAS FOR LAURIE'S 50's-THEMED PARTY #10. Buy the petroleum jelly for your hair NOW, before the price skyrockets. #9. Find a nice poodle skirt...but unlike in the 50's, they're not made out of real poodles anymore. #8. Set up 19-inch black-and-white TV's all over the place (but only one per household). #7. Race your boss for pink slips...if he wins, you get fired. #6. Get a hairdo taller than Marge Simpson's (just remember to avoid any power lines or low-flying aircraft). #5. Get yourself knocked up, just like Rizzo did. #4. Sell bigass root beer floats for five cents each. See if you can still turn a profit. #3. Freak your parents out by wearing skin-tight pants and swingin' your hips and shakin' your pelvis. #2. Put up signs in front of the bathrooms and drinking fountains that say "WHITES ONLY". #1. And the Number One Idea For Laurie's 50's-Themed Party... ...Introduce everyone to your new best friends forever: Pat Boone, Fabian, Bobby Rydell, and Edd "Kookie" Byrnes.

skybluesky Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Laurie, make sure you print out the lyrics to Greased Lightening. The lyrics are not all that family friendly. As for the all girl house, they could do "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee" or if you combine houses YOU MUST DO Summer Nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 A friend's church group did a cool 50's skit singing "Leader Of The Pack" using a bicycle in place of a motorcycle. It was a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 ^^ that would be hysterical! Using a bicycle for Greased Lightning! #4. Sell bigass root beer floats for five cents each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyteen Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Are you thinking of the original stage musical? Or are you thinking of the 1978 movie version with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 LOL...you guys are a riot...But I'm liking these ideas... Babyteen, either one...it really doesn't have to be anything too detailed or just like the play or movie....but just using the general idea of Grease...It's basically just a 5 minutes or so skit....

It was a hoot. I like this! ... I'm also hoping the girls will want to participate in the skit...I like the Sandra Dee and Summer Nights too!......

Carl Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I would want to do Greased Lightning. The dance moves are classic and the whole routine is delightfully cheesy. Yes, you might have to make and edit so "The girls will SCREAM". Sammy's racing for pink slips idea is also good. That whole list is better than anything Letterman's writers could have made.

_Laurie_ Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 LOL....I know..Sammy your list made my day... Carl I liked the Greased Lightning part also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Okay, we have decided on two scenes... Greased Lightining scene...the car is going to be made so is the junky side to start with...the guys will turn it around and it will be all shiny and cool... S2V...thanks for leader of the pack idea!....the staff from the girl house would love to do this! Camping isn't until october, so we have lots of time to make props and rehearse... Thanks for all your suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
