Jonathan Law High School Drama Club Presents Footloose the Musical

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. Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.

The incredibly talented cast of 27 includes Justin Amaro as Ren McCormack, Alaina McCarvill as Areil Moore, Joey Soto as Rev. Shaw Moore, Tyanna Xavier as Rusty, Connor Richards as Willard Hewitt, and Riley Pastir as Vi Moore.
