I haven't asked, but I suppose some people may have had something else to do or this might have been voluntary. I know Jose likes to do educational sorts of things. One of his first jobs was developing AIDS education workshops where the group went to high schools, did some sort of play that they wrote educating teens about HIV/AIDS and then had a Q & A from the audience.
I think it's great that cast members took time to talk to these high school students. Hillcrest HS is not an arts high school, so for many this may have been their first real theater experience. I am sure the students were impressed.
I assume Max had an understudy that day. I seem to recognize the Danny Zuko hair on somebody else!
Yes, Matthew Hydzik played Danny that day. I made my trip to see Grease on Tuesday, March 4 and Max was out. I bought tickets for the next day too since I was there (March 5), but Max was also out that day. Luckily I got an exchange for a TBA date and will have to try and see the full cast in April maybe.
Matthew was decent.... did anyone catch the play any other days this week? I wonder if Max is okay.
