Join us this summer at Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove, NJ! Our camp will include FUNdamental theater classes from Broadway, music, and industry professionals, as well as full rehearsals for our production of FOOTLOOSE: Youth Edition! Ages 10-18 ONLY.
Lose your blues as our talented AP Theater KIDS! bring to life this electrifying story with its Oscar- and Tony-nominated Top 40 score!
Footloose: Youth Edition is a one-hour version of the explosive musical specially designed for young performers!
One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage! When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn't prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town's youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend's rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren's reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
To the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 17 million copies!) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
Directed by Jake Dylan (National Tour of On Your Feet, Nickelodeon on Norwegian CruiseLines, High School Dance Teacher for Newark Public Schools). Choreography by Serena Soffer (original Broadway cast of Footloose)
