The opening show is set for Nov. 8 at Fort Vancouver High School, and there are five performances of Footloose the Musical scheduled by Journey Theater
We remember the movie, but now Clark County fans can watch it on stage.
Journey Theater is proud to present Footloose the Musical.
When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he is not prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town’s youth that he cannot command in his own home.
The reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, so 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 is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
Journey Theater recommends this production for ages 10 and older.
The first performances are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8 at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. at Fort Vancouver High School. Then there will be three more shows the following week also at Fort Vancouver High School: 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 14, 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, and 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15.
Tickets are on sale at journeytheater.org or by calling 360-750-8550. Adult tickets are $19. Youth and senior citizens are $17. Tickets are $2 more at the door.
