River Hill High School Presents - Fooloose (7:00 p.m.)

The River Hill High School Theatre Arts Department is busy rehearsing their March 2012 production of Footloose. 

            Footloose The Musical opened on Broadway in October 1998 and thrilled audiences for 709 performances. Inspired by the wildly popular 1984 movie, it’s a story of American spirit and the communication struggles between teens and parents.  A carefree city kid is transplanted to a conservative rural town where rock n’ roll and dancing are forbidden.  He takes on the authorities, makes all the right moves (and a few mistakes), learns a few things,  and wins the heart of the girl and the hearts of the town in the end.  The show features all the chart topping and toe tapping music from the film (“Almost Paradise”, “Holding Out For A Hero”, “Let’s Hear It For The Boy”, and--- “Footloose”) mixed with new material written specifically for the musical.  The story and the music will appeal to all ages!  By the end, everybody in the audience will want to “cut loose, footloose!”    

            The cast of over 60 RHHS students includes Gabby Almario (Ren McCormack), Sylvie Staines (Ariel Moore), Josh Kashkett (Willard), Emily Hostetler (Rusty), Jason Rodriguez (Rev. Moore), Juliette Rose (Mrs. Moore), Jen Warner (Vi McCormack), along with featured performances by Emily Ogorzalek, Zach Allentuck, Chris Hogenson, Camille Veselka, Hannah Floyd, Kim Gover, Shashwati Das, Sophie Keane, Kelly Gregory, Julian Berry, Brandon Norwood, David Fisher, Jack Fitzpatrick, Jen Chidekel, Morgan Benner, Brandon Dial, Kyle McKee, Chris Johnson and Sarah Land
