‘Footloose’ play dates, times and ticket information
Play: Footloose
Book: Dean Pitchford, Walter Bobbie
Synopsis: Moving in from Chicago, newcomer Ren McCormack (Theo Ross0) is in shock when he discovers the small Midwestern town he now calls home has made dancing and rock music illegal. As he struggles to fit in, Ren faces an uphill battle to change things. With the help of his new friend, Willard Hewitt (Ben Herrera), and defiant teen Ariel Moore (Nayda Baez), he might loosen up this conservative town. But Ariel’s influential father, Reverend Shaw Moore (Parrish Danesh), stands in the way.
