Casting Talent for The "Footloose" Show

Male and female talent is required for the "Footloose" show. Please see the details below. About the project: Synopsis: Footloose is the story of Ren McCormack, a teenage boy from Chicago. He and his mother move to the country town of Bomont after his father abandons them. Upon arriving, Ren finds himself at odds with most of the town, including the conservative Reverend Shaw Moore. To Ren’s disbelief, the Reverend has convinced the town to outlaw dancing. With the help of Ariel (the Reverend’s daughter) and Willard (a country hick who becomes his best friend), Ren convinces the Reverend to let the teenagers throw a dance, and in the process helps the town to heal from a tragedy that affected them all.
