The Marlboro Players bring Footloose to life in an upbeat stage adaptation based on the 1984 hit movie. When teenager Ren McCormack (Kevin Albanese) and his mom Ethel (Marla Struminger) move from big-city Chicago to small-town Bomont, they are in for a real case of culture shock as they find out that rock music and dancing are illegal. Ren quickly falls for Ariel Moore (Jamian Berkal), a rebellious teenager, who already has a tough boyfriend Chuck (Anthony Copetell) and also happens to be the daughter of Reverend Shaw Moore (Greg Schumann) who is responsible for keeping Bomont dance-free.

Footloose is produced by Steven Lilonsky, directed and choreographed by Vicki Trerotola, and musically directed by Vincent Mottern.  Stage adaptation by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie. Based on the screen play by Dean Pitchford. Music by Tom Snow. Lyrics by Dean Pitchford. Additional music by Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman.
