Join Audition for Dancer in "Footloose"
Seeking talent for the "Footloose" play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Newcomer Ren McCormack is in shock when he discovers the small Midwestern town he now calls home has made dancing and rock music illegal. As he struggles to fit in, Ren faces an uphill battle to change things. With the help of his new friend Willard Hewitt and defiant teen Ariel Moore, he might loosen up this conservative town, but Ariel's influential father, the Rev. Shaw Moore, stands in the way. Footloose celebrates the exhilaration of youth, the wisdom of listening to one another, and the power of forgiveness. Additional info: Show dates: May 16-24, 2025. Please don’t reference either of the movies for audition prep, rather look to the many versions of the musical available online. AUDITIONS WILL BE CLOSED, so please plan accordingly. There will be a dance audition, so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear (no sandals, open-toe shoes, flip-flops, etc.). Please prepare a song from the show that best showcases your voice and abilities. No outside tracks and no acapella auditions. Directors will have the tracks for the auditions to allow for a smoother and quicker audition process. Directors ask that you attend only ONE night of auditions unless called back.
