Teen Talent Needed for "Footloose" Production
Looking for ages 13-18 for the Production of "Footloose". 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 established 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 boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. This heartfelt story 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: Please bring 16-32 bars of a song that shows off your vocal range, with sheet music in the correct key for the provided accompanist. A change of clothes for the dance portion of the audition is encouraged. Those auditioning may be asked to read excerpts from the show. No conflicts after July 5. All conflicts must be listed on your audition form. Those under 18 must have a parent or guardian present at auditions. Performances run July 17-26, 2026. If interested, please apply.
