This summer, FOOTLOOSE will play in the Russell Hill Rogers Theater at The Public Theater of San Antonio, the longest-running theatre company in Texas. This fan-favorite musical is based on the original screenplay for the motion picture, Footloose by
The stage adaptation is by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie, with a Tony®-nominated score by Tom Snow, and lyrics by Dean Pitchford. The production opens on June 9 and runs through June 25, 2023. The production is led by Directors Laura Michelle Wolfe Hoadley and Claudia de Vasco, with music direction by Jaime Ramirez, and choreography by Tanesha Payne.
Footloose centers on Ren and his mother after moving from Chicago to a small farming town, making the inevitable adjustment at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
