Kick off your Sunday shoes with Footloose: Youth Edition at Westerly Middle School on May 24th & 25th. With a rockin’ rhythm of the Top 40 score, augmented with new songs for the stage musical, Footloose celebrates young people and the wisdom of guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

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. 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.
