UW-L's Department of Theatre Arts presents the high-energy musical “Footloose,” a story of a free-spirited kid who reminds a local community that it’s no sin to be young.
“Footloose” performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, in Toland Theatre, Center for the Arts.
Based on the popular 1984 film, “Footloose” is a tale of teenage rebellion. Ren McCormack is a hip city kid who ends up in a Bible-belt town after his parents’ divorce — an ill-fit for a conservative community where rock is frowned upon and dancing is forbidden, McCormack rallies the kids and takes on the establishment. The musical features many of the popular songs from the movie including the title track “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” and “Almost Paradise,” as well as new songs written specifically for the stage.
Tickets for “Footloose” are $10 for UW-L students, $15 for seniors and other students, and $20 for others. Purchase tickets at the box office in the lobby of the Center for the Arts or call 785.8522 for reservations. This is a general seating performance but a ticket is required for admission.
Proceeds from the “Footloose” encore presentation will go to support theater student scholarships at UW-L.
