“I am extremely excited about Random Acts of Theatre’s debut production of “Footloose”. The cast is made up of extremely talented people, and it is great to see them have this outlet to use their talents,” said Amanda Farnsworth, Random Acts of Theatre founder and “Footloose” Director.
“Between the music and dance numbers, "Footloose" is an entertaining musical for the audience,” said Ms. Farnsworth. “I have done a lot of professional theatre, and this has been my most enjoyable experience ever. I have seen the cast – from such diverse backgrounds – come together and have a synergy and energy like I haven’t experienced before. That is what has been most rewarding.”

"Footloose" is a classic tale of a city teenager (Ren) and his family moving to a small town, where he’s in for a real culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can’t quite believe he’s living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a fight to abolish the ban and revitalize the spirit of the townspeople. This fast-paced drama is filled with now-famous hit songs such as “Let’s Hear It for the Boys” and includes exciting dance numbers.
