Westfield Theatre Presents.....FOOTLOOSE!

Westfield High School’s Theatre Arts Department presents their spring musical Footloose, Friday, April 29th at 7:30 pm, Saturday, April 30th at 7:30 pm, and Sunday, May 1st at 2:00pm. All performances are at Westfield High School.

Set in the 1980s, Footloose follows the streetwise Ren McCormack (Connor Rudy) as he is uprooted from his fast-paced Chicago life to live in the Midwestern conservative town of Bomont. Bomont is under the tight reigns of Reverend Shaw (Eni Oyeleye), who forbids dancing and rock music. However, Shaw's sassy and headstrong daughter, Ariel (Molly Van Trees), is always looking for ways to break her father's rules, especially when it comes to sneaking out to see her domineering and jealous boyfriend, Chuck (Embrey Grimes) . Ren and Ariel meet and together, with the help of their classmates, they initiate a movement to dissolve the rules in hopes of having a senior prom. With music and lyrics by Tom Snow and Dean Pitchford, and book by Walter Bobbie and Dean Pitchford, Footloose is a spirted musical that conveys how teen rebellion can lead to hope and triumph.
