    Movies on the Lake: Grease (1978)

    You probably expect a cheesy one-liner quoting “Summer Nights.” Instead, let’s focus on the actual star of the 1970s play-turned-movie-musical phenomenon known as Grease – Rizzo. A core memory: watching the insecure outcast posing as a femme dynamo reflecting on all the vicious whispers about her. When she crooned with more fragility than a broken heart, “I don’t steal and I don’t lie/ But I can feel, and I can cry/ A fact I’ll bet you never knew/ But to cry in front of you/ That’s the worst thing I could do,” my entire universe was remade. I was Rizzo, and ever since I’ve wanted to play her. Needless to say, I’ll find a way to be at Mozart’s for this Movie on the Lake experience. – Cy White
