      Riverlea Theatre Presents:

      FOOTLOOSE

      Stage Adaptation by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie
      Music by Tom Snow
      Lyrics by Dean Pitchford

      FOOTLOOSE is presented through special arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical on behalf of R & H Theatricals, A Concord Theatricals Company

      Director: Toni Garson
      Musical Directors: Alex Pelham-Waerea and Dane Moeke
      Choreographer: Tess Benseman

      To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and 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. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights 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 pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

      Kirikiriroa, it’s time to cut loose to Footloose!
