Bear Grease is an unapologetically Indigenous musical—a loving clap back to the classic hit musical and film Grease. But instead of 1950s Greasers and Pink Ladies, they bring rich Indigenous culture to the forefront: their language, dances, songs, and humor — all wrapped up in a production that will leave audiences laughing, crying, cheering, and wanting more.
Born on Treaty 6 territory in Alberta, Bear Grease is more than just a musical; it’s a cultural reclamation. Created by the powerhouse husband-and-wife duo LightningCloud, Bear Grease was written out of necessity. The lack of authentic opportunities for Indigenous peoples in theatre, film, and TV demanded a response, and that response was this production—a home-brewed, grassroots Indigenous musical that has since grown into a touring phenomenon.
Over the past several years, Bear Grease has toured across North America, performing in big-city theatres, community centers, powwow grounds, and everywhere in between, proving that Indigenous stories are not just relevant — they are essential.
The energy of Bear Grease is electric, and the humor is straight rez. The songs combine powwow-style beats with theatrical flair, the dances are rooted in tradition but brimming with modern energy, and the entire production radiates a sense of pride and joy that audiences carry with them long after the final bow.
We would like to acknowledge that “Bear Grease the Musical” was written in Treaty 6 Alberta, land and traditional territories of the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuline’ (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux) and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).

Thank you to our performance partners Branch Out Productions, PLATO, and Atlantic Mediaworks Video Production.
