Who’s ready to kick off those Sunday Shoes and CUT LOOSE?!?! Under the Direction of Richard A. Vitanovec, EHS Theatre Department takes you on a wild ride from Chicago to the small farming town of Bomont. Set in 2024, we follow Ren McCormack trying to adjust from city life to small town living. Of course, an adjustment period at his new high school is inevitable, but he’s not prepared for the rigorous local ways, including a ban on dancing. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose TRULY celebrates the idea of a community coming together. *Tickets are ONLY sold online. **THIS SHOW IS RATED PG-13 FOOTLOOSE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
