Do you think Grease is the word? Check out the brand new craze: LightningCloud's BEAR GREASE!
Making Treaty 7 is proud to host BEAR GREASE in collaboration with the Calgary Folk Music Festival after their highly successful (sold out!) Fringe Festival and Christmas runs in Edmonton, Alberta.
Crystle Lightning (Canadian Screen Award Winner for Best Actress 2021) and MC RedCloud (former Guinness World Record holder for Longest Freestyle Rap) bring you an Indigenous twist to the classic musical.
