What they say
Co-director Denis Lawrence Jr.: "The kids really had a lot of fun dancing and singing to the songs from the '80s. This is the soundtrack that their parents grew up with, so everyone can sing along.
“The show is relatable because it shines a light on tensions between parents and kids. Everybody’s story crashes together and they discover they are all just trying to work things out.”
Actor Kyle Lamotagne (Ren): “I am so excited to be portraying Ren in our production of Footloose. It’s exciting to be able to entertain the audience with such a dance-heavy show and allow for the audience to sing along to classics that many of them grew up with while watching the movies.”
Actress Mikayla Vailancourt (Ariel): “Playing Ariel has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The cast and show are amazing. My family lives in the country and I grew up loving that movie! I can’t wait for people to see it, it’s such a fun show!”
