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. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth in response to a tragedy in his life he couldn't control. 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. 

With dynamic new songs augmenting the powerhouse hits from its bestselling Oscar-nominated score, Footloose celebrates the exhilaration of youth, the wisdom of listening to one another, and the power of forgiveness.

Footloose will be performed by CharacterWorks' high school Masters Camp students at the conclusion of a 2-1/2 week summer camp.
