Steeple Players Invites Everyone
to “Cut Footloose!”
January 29 - February 14, 2010
It’s time to lose your blues at Steeple Players Theatre in
Hendersonville, where the pop musical Footloose cuts loose
January 29 through February 14.
Based on the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon, Steeple Players
production stars an energetic cast of 40 local actors, singers, and
dancers. With rocking rhythm of it's Oscar and Tony nominated top 40
score and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical,
Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people,
guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
Footloose follows the story of Ren McCormick. When Ren and
his mother move from Chicago to a small town, Ren is prepared for
the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he
isn't prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on
dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise
control over the town's youth that he cannot command in his own
home. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for
the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked
out on him.
At Steeple Players, Beech High School student Chase McCumber plays
the rebellious Ren, while Hendersonville High School’s Katie Stewart
fires up the stage as Ariel, the minister’s beautiful but troubled
teenage daughter. Tate Albert and Diann Hiney star as the fire and
brimstone Reverend Moore and his compassionate wife Vi. Volunteer
State student Kamen Sims plays Ren’s buddy Willard, the cowboy with
two left feet, and MTSU’s Sarah Shepherd is his bubble-headed
sweetheart Rusty. Julian Kohann, a student at John Paul II, is
featured as Ariel’s dangerous boyfriend Chuck.
Footloose has been adapted to the stage by Dean Pitchford and
Walter Bobbie, with music by Tom Snow and lyrics by Dean Pitchford.
In addition to an Oscar nod for best musical score, the film (and
subsequent stage version) featured an unprecedented number of top
forty hits including Kenny Loggins’ “I’m Free (Heaven Helps the
Man)” and the title track, Sammy Hager’s “The Girl Gets Around,”
Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding On for a Hero,” “Almost Paradise,”
“Somebody’s Eyes” and the hit single “Let’s Hear it for the Boy.”
Footloose show times are Friday and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and
Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12
for seniors and students, and $10 for children under 12. Tickets are
available by calling the Steeple Players’ box office at
615/826-6037.
Footloose contains language and subject matter that may not
be suitable for all ages and parental guidance is recommended.
Steeple Players is a 501(c)3 non-profit community theatre located at
260 West Main Street in the City Square Shopping Center in
Hendersonville Tennessee. It has presented family-oriented theatre
to the local and surrounding communities for over a decade.
About Gallatin, Tennessee
Gallatin is the county seat of Sumner County, Tennessee and is located approximately 30 miles northeast of Nashville. Gallatin sits beside Old Hickory Lake which is world-famous for its fishing and other recreational activities. Many people find Gallatin to be the perfect place to live: beautiful homes, good schools, vibrant industries, great shopping and restaurants, good roads, and nice people.
The extension of TN 386 was completed in 2007. This means that you can drive on four-lane, limited-access freeways all the way from Gallatin to Nashville. Because of the new freeway, Gallatin has become one of the hottest real estate markets in Middle Tennessee.
Donors Choose is a national, non-profit organization
designed to help teachers get needed supplies for their classrooms.
Teachers submit proposals to Donors Choose, and Donors Choose
reviews the requests and places them on their web site. At
this point, any individual in the world can search the database for
proposals they would like to fund in whole or in part.
Once the project is fully funded, Donors Choose ships the requested supplies directly to the teacher. The teacher sends a thank-you letter [through Donors Choose] to the donor who completed the funding on his/her proposal. In addition, the teacher sends thank-you letters from each student along with photos of the class using the donated supplies.
It's actually quite fun to see how this works!
Donors Choose has just opened their program to teachers in Tennessee. We encourage teachers in Gallatin and surrounding areas to submit proposals to Donors Choose!
