    Footloose

    June 3rd – August 20th on Gilliam Stage

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

    Join us for the high-energy musical based on the 80’s movie. When Ren and his mother leave Chicago and move to the rural community of Bomont, Ren finds himself at odds with most everyone, including the powerful Reverend Moore. As a result of a recent tragedy, Moore has convinced the town fathers to outlaw dancing. With the help of Ariel (Moore’s daughter) and Willard (his new friend), Ren convinces the Reverend to let teenagers dance again, and in the process, helps to heal the whole town.

    Content Advisories: S – Mild sexual innuendo. More information.

    Barter Connects Footloose– TIME TO CUT LOOSE!

    In this Connects event, Barter’s Resident Choreographer Ashley Campos will be discussing the role dance played in her life as a small town girl growing up in Ringgold, GA and how it affected her choreography for this show. Ashley will be joined by Deirdre Cole, the Artistic Director of Highlands Ballet, who will be discussing the importance of dance in the development of a young person’s physical and mental growth. And as an extra bonus, Ashley will teach a modified dance combination from the show (nothing too tough, we promise) for those of you ready to cut loose!

    Sunday, July 30th, immediately following the 3pm performance on Gilliam Stage.
