​

The original 2011 production of Greasy Pole, The Musical

was developed collaboratively as a gift of love

to the City of Gloucester by more than 60 people.

Since then more than twice that many have contributed new material.

​

Deepest thanks to everyone who has 

given their stories and creativity to this show.

 

Special gratitude to our beloved

Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken,

and to the Favazza, Scola, Palmisano & Bono families

and Greasy Pole Champions for so much

support and inspiration over the years.

 

We humbly dedicate this production to our patron San Pietro,

to Gloucester's courageous Sicilian-Italian immigrant mothers and fathers,

to every Greasy Pole Champion since 1931,

and to those who have gone down to the sea in ships.

May your memory stay with us always. 

VIVA!!

We honor stories as vital to our humanity. We remember, imagine,

re-imagine and tell stories, reminding us all of where we came from,

who we are, and of our dreams for tomorrow.

Our copyright-free theatrical projects and productions are born of the historic and modern folklore of Cape Ann & the North Shore. We welcome people of all ages and life experiences to participate in our programs.
