Colleen Sullivan and Dahni Trujillo delivered their best performances so far as Grease hit the halfway mark in its six-night run at Peach Tree Golf and Country Club.

Is there a little competition going on here? If so, hooray! Yuba-Sutter theater-goers will only benefit as these to find their styles and push their capabilities.

In fact, the whole cast had tightened up their lines, made a few adjustments in the small stage business that goes with their lines.

There are still a few things the actors could improve a tad.

Matt Monaco finally remembered to drop his lunch in the scene where "Danny" has "Sandy" thrust at him. Only he remembered as he was about to exit the scene, not when he's first shocked by the Sandy surprise.

Shannon Doschers' line about him dropping the lunch really doesn't work without that underlying premise that he was so shocked Danny lost control of his extremities.

On Saturday he carried it off the stage with him and Doscher had to trim her "Jan" line, which is disappointing because Doscher has some of the best lines in the play and she works them as well as any.

Tyler Brand just about has his "Kenickie" part down rote, so it seems quibbling to point this out, but: HE'S NOT TAKING HIS TWINKIES OUT OF HIS LUNCH BAG.

During one of the rehearsals, co-director Staci Johnson explained to Brand that his scolding line, "I don’t eat crap like that" (or something to that effect) only works if the audience sees him drawing a couple of Ho-Hos out of his own lunch bag as he says it.

The whole small bit is a sight gag, really. The line alone is just a kvetch.

Instead of making it obvious to the audience he's pooh-poohing a tuna fish sandwich for a putatively healthier Ho-Ho, Brand eats the pastry as he would at his own school in real life. He keeps it half in the bag so he won't spill crumbs or wrapper. Sensible in life, maybe, but not for the stage.

But all these are minor points, considering the overall high quality of their performances and the energy they are bringing to the show.

One if-only disappointment is that "Cha-Cha" has no song. I would like to have heard Candee Jensen sing in this one. Besides being a crackerjack dancer, she has a stunning voice.
