Footloose
The 2016 Davitt College Production
CUT LOOSE!
Welcome to Bomont. Take a look back at our electrifying, high-octane 2016 Transition Year production of Footloose in the Joe Langan Sports Hall.
■ The Story
When city teenager Ren McCormack moves to the small conservative town of Bomont—where dancing and rock music have been banned—he finds himself at odds with local leaders. Refusing to take no for an answer, Ren works to ignite the youth, spark a cultural revolution, and bring the joy of dance back to the town.
