Refresh your memory with the film version before catching the Midland Center for the Arts Rising Stars production FOOTLOOSE! Featuring top youth talent from the Great Lakes Bay region, this rockin’ musical will have audiences cutting loose with performances June 28 – 30!

Big-city teenager Ren (Kevin Bacon) relocates from Chicago to the small rural town of Bomont, where its inhabitants have imposed an unjust ban on Rock ‘n’ Roll and dancing. Feeling trapped and confused, Ren tries to fit in; however, he will soon find himself neck-deep in trouble when beautiful Ariel Moore (Lori Singer), the preacher’s daughter, catches his eye. Now, to convince the city council to lift the ban on dancing, Ren has no choice but to fight prejudice and the community’s fire-and-brimstone preacher through dance. But is Ren fighting a losing battle?
