The MVHS theater department is putting on the musical “Footloose” this weekend and next in the district auditorium. The show is about a teenager who moves to a small town that doesn’t allow dancing. Ren McCormack, played by junior Bryce Cox, tries to get the town to have a rock ‘n’ roll prom, against the teachings of the town pastor, Reverend Shaw Moore (senior Trevor Baty.) In the process, Ren falls for Moore’s daughter Ariel (junior Jenna Reimann).
Tom Stephens is the director of the show, and Jill Wilkins is the choreographer. The show features live Tickets are $8 adults and $6 students. It is showing Saturday, April 11 at 7 p.m., Sunday, April 12 at 2 p.m. and the following weekend on Friday and Saturday, April 17 and 18 at 7 p.m.
