CPRSS Presents: Footloose The Musical

Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School Dinner Theatre showcases the diverse talents of our students.  This year, Crocus proudly presents the musical Footloose. A city teenager moves into a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned, and his rebellious spirit shakes us the populace.   When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the adjustment to his new high school. What he isn't prepared for are the local laws - including a ban on dancing - which are the brainchild of a local preacher bent on exercising control over the town's youths. When the Reverend's rebellious daughter sets her heart on Ren, her boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren's reputation and many of the locals are eager to believe the worst about the new kid. With its Oscar'-nominated hit score, the celebrated film musical now bursts explosively onto the stage.   To accompany the entertainment, the award-winning Crocus Plains Culinary Arts Department will create a delectable three-course meal.   Seating is limited to 160 guests per show, so be sure to get your tickets as soon as possible. Tickets, at $35 per adult are available at the Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School front office. Please inform us of any special dietary concerns when purchasing tickets. Advance sales only.
