Rowland High School Theatre Department Presents Footloose the Musical

The Rowland High School Theatre Department is proud to present Footloose, the Musical, opening this Thursday, March 1 and directed by RHS Theatre Arts teacher Mrs. Patricia Doublet. Performance dates in the RHS Ellis Jordan Theatre are March 1-2, and March 8-9 at 7 PM and March 3 and 10 at 2 PM and 7 PM. Tickets are currently on sale for $9 and are $10 at the door. RHS Choir teacher Brandon Harris is the music director and choreography is the work of RHS alumnus Riliegh Garcia. The play is entirely student-run, with a mixture of 38 veteran and novice actors supported by more than 50 crew members. Footloose, the Musical  tells the story of Ren McCormack, an upbeat Chicago teen who moves to a small town in which, as a result of the efforts of a local minister, dancing and rock music have been banned. Ren motivates the teen population to petition the town council to repeal its ban so they can celebrate graduation by holding a dance.
