Oakton High School's performing arts department presents FOOTLOOSE the Musical. One of the most explosive movie musicals bursts onto the live stage with exhilierating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new 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 athat he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend's rebellious daughter sets her signts 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 is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
