To commemorate 45 years since the release of the seminal movie-musical, a stage production of Grease (dir. Chris Rodriguez) is hot-rodding into the recently renamed Wonder Theatre this July.

In this beloved satire of 1950s teen high school life, notorious greaser Danny Zuko (Anthony Martucci) and chaste Australian exchange student Sandy Olsson (Lauren Campion) take a chance at an exhilarating summer fling. When senior year begins and Sandy faces ridicule from Danny's leather-clad friends, she prepares to bid a bittersweet farewell to their whirlwind romance. Danny, however, is determined to keep her around. In the face of Rydell High's rigid clique culture, Danny and Sandy must decide if they're willing to abandon their long-standing social circles to keep their "summer lovin'" alive.

$18-$32, 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday July 7-30, Wonder Theatre at the Woodlawn Theatre, 1920 Fredericksburg Road, (210) 267-8388, woodlawntheatre.org.
