“When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.” - Concord Theatricals

“Based on the 1984 movie, ‘Footloose’ the musical is full of the same iconic music and teenage energy of the 1980s,” says Director Hilerre Kirsch. “While patrons will certainly find themselves wanting to sing and dance along as the stage fills with color and extraordinary choreography, what is equally endearing are the journeys that these characters, both young and old, find themselves on. A brilliant mix of the energy and hopefulness of youth, and the responsibility and regret of age, in the end these characters find themselves in each other.”
