The WordPlayers Presents: Footloose

The explosive movie musical bursts onto the live stage at the Bijou Theatre July 14 at 7:30 PM, July 15 at 2:30 PM and 7:30 PM and July 16 at 2:30 PM. Tickets available at knoxbijou.org, by phone at 865.684.1200, or at the door.

THE STORY 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. 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.
