Dance Opportunities for Kids in "Footloose" Show
Seeking talents ages 14 and up for "Footloose" Musical. Please see the details below. About the project: 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. 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. Additional info: The audition will consist of three parts: a monologue, a singing portion, and a dance call. The monologue is of your own choosing and can be from theatre or film, but not from the show itself. The song selections have been preselected for you, and you should choose the one based on which character you are auditioning for. The song selections and the dance call instructional videos are attached. Learn the dance, but feel free to make it your own. Show some character and have fun. No prior experience is needed to jump in on the fun! First rehearsal: February 10 at 6:00 p.m. Performances: April 4, 5, 11, 12 at 7 p.m. and April 6 and 13 at 2 p.m. For more information, audition material, and upcoming audition forms, please download the attachment.
