In Footloose, Ren McCormick leaves the rockin’ life of big city Chicago and has a hard time adjusting to life in rural Beaumont, even with the help of bumpkins like Willard Hewitt – played by Sam Buchanan. So for tomorrow’s Spirit Day we are going a Little Bit Country and a Little Bit Rock and Roll. Wear your Sunday Country Best or Dress like a Rock Star – or try a creative combination of both.
Remember to send your spirited selfies to @MHSDramaKnights with the hashtag #MHSFOOTLOOSE. At the end of the week the most spirited students’ names will be entered into a drawing for a free ticket to the show.
Rock out with us Friday and Saturday at seven PM, and Sunday at two PM for the MHS production of “Footloose: The Musical” – it will be a rockin’ good show and tickets are sure to sell out quickly!
