Stephen Logan
(Kenickie) Stephen is a Year 13 student at Lurgan College and he assumes the role of Kenickie in this production. Stephen mentioned that being in the show this year has been great and although it’s a big commitment he has enjoyed being able to meet new people. His personal low point came when he watched his friends head out to rugby practice while he had to go to play rehearsals. However, such lows were outweighed by the banter at rehearsals and the added bonus of getting to sing Greased Lightning in the show.
Josh Duff
(Sonny LaTierri) Josh is currently in Year 13 in Lurgan College and plays the role of Sonny LaTierri. This is Josh’s debut role on the stage as prior to being cast as Sonny he did not consider himself to be theatrical. Josh said that Sonny is one of his favourite characters and he enjoys the comedic lines that Sonny has to deliver. The highlight so far has been the fun at rehearsals and going through the songs. His favourite song is Greased Lightning.
Sophie Giraudeau

Despite this Sophie said, ‘I’m so grateful for the opportunity to take part in Grease as it is a musical that I have always wanted to do.’
Kathryn Corr
