Pontiac Theatre IV is an independent community theatre group presenting live theatre to Pontiac and Oakland County since 1969. Theatre IV presents four or five shows per season including a musical, a straight show, a children’s show and a musical review. The 2019-20 Season shows include, the hilarious horror spoof Curse of the Werewolf; the family favorite Anne of Avonlea; our children’s show Disney’s The Lion King, Jr, a Musical Review performed by our teenage members; and one of the all time classics of the dramatic stage, William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. We will also be announcing a major musical once the rights have been awarded. Watch the site and Facebook for more information!
Pontiac Theatre IV want to update the status of our production Grease. As of Saturday, March 14 we still plan to go ahead with our Saturday and Sunday productions at the scheduled time. As of now, the board feels with low-risk in our area and the extra precautions we’re taking we fell confident in holding the show. The CUMC routinely disinfects commonly touched surfaces, hand sanitizer will be available , along with plenty of soap and water. We will also work to add more spacing between audience members. Please check back with the website or our Facebook page for updates.
If you are unable to attend, we will refund your tickets.

The story
Sandy Dumbrowski, the new girl in town, and Danny Zuko, the school’s coolest greaser, have a secret summertime romance – but when they get back to school, everything is different. Sandy attempts to navigate the tricky Rydell High School social waters and catch Danny’s attention again, but Danny is chiefly concerned with maintaining his tough-guy reputation. In the end, the Pink Ladies help Sandy figure out how to win back the leader of the Burger Palace Boys.
