-About the Show-

Heights Community Arts Centre PLEASE NOTE: For the week prior to opening
(beginning Sunday January 26th), please expect a rehearsal or other activity on
each day.
When city boy Ren McCormack is forced to leave school,
work, and the night clubs of the big city and move to small town Bomont, he's
ready for a new high school. But he's not ready for the local laws, which
include a ban on dancing. Will this toe-tapping bad boy be able to win the
hearts of the people and bring back dance to a town trying to overcome the
memory of a tragedy?
Based on the hit 80s movie, Footloose explodes onto the
stage with such memorable anthems as "Almost Paradise", "Holding
Out For A Hero", "Let's Hear It For The Boy" and, of course,
"Footloose".
One kid. One town. One chance.
