FOOTLOOSE, THE MUSICAL

:
Saturday,
August 13, 12 p.m. Bus time to be announced.
When Ren and his mother move from Chicago
to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for
the inevitable adjustment period at his new
high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the
rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing
instituted by the local preacher, determined to
exercise the control over the town’s youth that he
cannot command in his own home. The heartfelt
story that emerges is of a father longing for the
son he lost and of a young man aching for the
father who walked out on him. To the rockin’
rhythm of its Oscar- and Tony-nominated top 40
score (the soundtrack album reached number
one on the Billboard charts and has sold over
15 million copies!) and augmented with dynamic
new songs for the stage musical, Footloose
celebrates the wisdom of listening to young
people, guiding them with a warm heart and an
open mind.
Cost:
$45
per person and includes transportation,
lunch and the show. (Bus fare for this trip is $4.50
per person.)
