Bear Grease: The Musical

LightningCloud Presents

April 2 - April 3
Reynolds Industries Theater

Presented by Duke Arts Presents

“A fearless, funny, and deeply heartfelt reimagining of Grease, this “rez-ed up” remix swaps 1950s Greasers and Pink Ladies for a cast that proudly spotlights Indigenous language, music, and moves.”

Bear Grease is an unapologetically Indigenous musical and a loving clap back to the classic hit Grease—reimagined through the lens of Indigenous culture, language, song, and humor. Created by husband-and-wife duo LightningCloud and born on Treaty 6 territory in Alberta, this grassroots sensation has become a North American touring phenomenon, performing over 200 shows in community centers, powwow grounds, and major theaters alike. With powwow beats, high-energy choreography, laugh-out-loud storytelling, and an all-Indigenous cast, Bear Grease is equal parts comedy, cultural reclamation, and theatrical celebration. This production radiates a sense of pride and joy that audiences carry with them long after the final bow.
