The talented performers of the Spry Drama Club will be putting on their dancing shoes in a few weeks when they present Footloose: Youth Edition in three shows, Friday and Saturday March 10 and 11.
Footloose! celebrates the exhilaration of youth, the wisdom of listening to one another, and the power of forgiveness. The youth edition is a one-hour show especially designed for young performers.
You undoubtedly remember the 1984 Oscar-nominated movie musical starring Kevin Bacon. The story follows a city teenager who moves to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned. The new kid and his rebellious spirit shake up the town as he tries to bring music back into their drab lives … and win the girl at the same time.
And I’m sure you remember the music. (I’ll bet the title song is dancing around in your brain right now.) The production will revisit many of the songs in the Tony-nominated top-40 score, plus some new songs developed specifically for the stage musical.
Spry Drama Club brings this feel-good musical to the Spry Middle School stage on Friday, March 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 11 at 2 and 7 p.m. Reserve tickets are $8 each and will go on sale Monday, February 27. Purchase them online here.
Spry Middle School is located at 119 South Ave., in the Village of Webster.
