Footloose will light up The Strand stage on May 17, bringing the energetic spirit of the 1980s to life through lively choreography and classic hits. Songs such as “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Almost Paradise” will be showcased in this joyous musical celebration of dance and self-expression.
The story follows Ren, a teenager navigating the challenges of moving from Chicago to a small town with strict rules, including a dance ban imposed by a local preacher. As Ren becomes entangled in the town’s drama, including a romance with the preacher’s rebellious daughter, a heartfelt tale unfolds about longing and acceptance.
This performance runs from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre, located at 117 N Park Square in Marietta, GA. More details can be found on the theater’s website.
