Roncalli Catholic Schools’ middle school is set to present “Footloose: Youth Edition.”
The performances are scheduled for February 23rd and 24th at 6:00 p.m. and February 25th at 2:00 p.m. and will be hosted at Roncalli High School’s Fine Arts Center.
Audience members can secure their tickets, priced at $5 for general admission, at Roncalli Middle School during school hours or at the door on the day of the show.
The box office at the Fine Arts Center will commence sales 30 minutes before showtime.
The show, licensed by Concord Theatricals, offers a one-hour adaptation of the iconic film musical designed for youth.
The story follows Ren and his mother as they move to a conservative farming town in Chicago, where he faces unexpected challenges, including a dance ban enforced by the local pastor.
The plot thickens when the pastor’s defiant daughter takes an interest in Ren, leading to a cascade of events that tests his reputation.
At its core, the musical explores themes of loss, rebellion, and acceptance as a father mourns his son and a young man seeks a new beginning.
