Falkirk Youth Theatre set to take to the stage with Footloose!

In the company’s last production on the FTH stage before its closure early next year, the 50 strong cast of youngsters bring to life the story based on the 1984 film of the same name starring Kevin Bacon.

City boy Ren has to move to a rural backwater in America where dancing is banned.

All hell breaks out as Ren refuses to conform and soon has the whole town up on its feet.

As well as some incredible performances from the young cast, the musical has a fantastic soundtrack featuring classic 80s hits including ‘Holding Out for a Hero’, ‘Almost Paradise’, ‘Let’s Hear it for the Boy’ and of course the unforgettable title track, Footloose.

Tickets are still available for performances, which take place on Friday, November 25 (7.30pm) and Saturday, November 26 (2pm and 7.30pm).

This show is a real feel good night out that’s fun and uplifting.

The talented local youngsters, who are all aged between seven and 18, would love for you to join them and help their last production on the current town hall stage be one they’ll never forget.
