Columbia High School will continue its once-a-decade tradition of performing “Grease” as its annual musical.
Shows will be Feb. 28 and Feb. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Crystelle Ford Auditorium.
This will be the 42nd CHS musical, and the school previously did “Grease” in 1990, 2000 and 2010.
Jan. 16 Columbia was a special stop for Stars of Hope founder Jeff Parness of New York City.
Parness and Matt Deighton of Greensburg, Kan., are doing a bus tour called “Hope Across America,” in an effort to spread hope and carrying the message that “love is stronger than hate.”
