The Chelsea High School Theater Guild will present the play “Footloose” directed by Katherine Altman on Nov. 14-16.
“Footloose” is based on the 1984 hit film. It tells the story of Ren, a young man from Chicago, who after being walked out on by his father, has to move to a small, restrictive town where dancing is outlawed.
Ren falls in love with the wrong girl (or is she the right girl?) and proves to be just what the town needs to overcome a tragedy of its own. “Footloose” turns the typical on its head and encourages us to listen to the wisdom of the young characters, who teach an important lesson about letting go and moving forward.
The fun score features such recognizable tunes as “Footloose”, “Holding Out For a Hero”, and Let’s Hear It For The Boy”.
Performance dates and times are: Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 15 at 3 p.m.
All performances will be held at the Chelsea High School Auditorium.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students/seniors and will be available at Chelsea Pharmacy or at the door. Cash or check only at both locations.
