When Ren moves 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. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, and augmented with additional dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while simultaneously guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.

FOOTLOOSE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
