Get ready to cut Footloose with the Lindsay Thurber theatre program!

The production runs March 19-22 at the RDP Arts Centre main stage., and features a cast and crew of around 70 students.

“The show is so much fun, but it also carries a powerful message,” said Tara Koett, director.

“At its core, Footloose is about a son who’s lost his father, and a father who’s lost his son — both struggling to find common ground. It is a story of grief and reconciliation, family, and faith. That emotional depth has given our students so much to explore, and the acting this year is breathtaking. Some scenes are incredibly moving and beautiful, while others explode with energy and excitement.”

This will be the first time Thurber puts on Footloose in 15 years, and they’re promising electrifying dance numbers, detailed technical design, and bottomless entertainment.

“These kids have worked hard, learned a lot and set high expectations for themselves,” said Koett.

“The quality of the dancing, acting and the attention to detail that has gone into the technical design is strong. Footloose is going to be a fantastic show that will not only have audiences dancing in their seats, but might even inspire some to get on stage themselves!”
