"Everybody Cut Footloose!" The Boykin Center will be rockin’ to the beat of the Oscar and Tony –nominated Top 40 score when Rodgers and Hammerstein's Footloose "kicks off its Sunday shoes" on the stage of the Boykin Center! This powerful musical tells the story of Ren, originally played by Kevin Bacon in the 1994 film, who moves to the small, rural farming town of Bomont. He soon learns that the town has banned both dancing and rock music under the heavy influence of Reverend Shaw Moore. Ren not only falls for the Reverend’s rebellious daughter, but also begins to forge friendships with many of the local teens who simply want to dance "footloose" at their upcoming prom. "Footloose" celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind" according to Rodgers and Hammerstein. This powerful storyline combined with thrilling dances and songs from the classic soundtrack, which sold over 15 million copies and made Kenny Loggins a solo legend, will surely delight you!
With twenty-three named characters, and many more chorus parts, there is something here for everyone. Students in grades 6-12 should mark their calendars to join us for the auditions and make plans to join us for this special show!

The third production of the ACT! for Youth season is the classic Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. This stage adaptation from Stevenson's famous adventure thriller will tell the story of swashbuckling pirates with parrots perched on their shoulders, sailing the high seas to unknown tropical lands. Narrated by fourteen year old Jim Hawkins, who joins the dangerous adventure with his treasure map (marked with an "X") to seek his fortune in gold and buried treasure, the story is also filled with ruthless, salty characters such as Long John Silver, seaman Billy Bones and Black Dog. Long before there was a Captain Jack Sparrow or The Pirates of the Caribbean, there was Treasure Island! Set your sails for the audition and join the adventure!
