Get ready to kick off your Sunday shoes and dance the night away! Footloose bursts onto the stage with electrifying energy, unforgettable 80s hits, and a story that will have your heart racing and your feet tapping. When big-city teen Ren McCormack moves to a small town where dancing is forbidden, he inspires an entire community to find joy, freedom, and faith in themselves again. With chart-topping favorites like “Holding Out for a Hero” and “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” Footloose is a high-octane celebration of music, movement, and the courage to stand up for what you believe in.

But amid the laughter and mischief, the community discovers the true spirit of the season in a way they never expected. Full of heart, humor, and holiday magic, this family favorite delivers big laughs and an even bigger message about kindness, acceptance, and the joy of seeing Christmas through fresh eyes. It’s the perfect show to share with loved ones of all ages this holiday season.
