SPECIAL EDITION: Countdown to ‘Footloose’ – Final photos for the final feature

Kate Huangpu

Striking poses at the end of a musical number, the cast of ‘Footloose’ rehearsed really hard all this week and last week to put on a rockin’ show. Go see it.

 

Well, here it is, the last day and feature of the ‘Footloose’ countdown. We would have used an exclamation mark in that last sentence here at The Fordian to express more, more energy, yet we are kind of disappointed that we won’t be able to cover such a large and extravagant event for a while, because covering ‘Footloose’ has been a great time. But ‘Footloose’! It opens tonight at 7:30!

The show times are as follows: Friday, March 20 at 7:30; Saturday, March 21 at 2:00 and 7:30; Sunday, March 22 at 2:00. Tickets are $5.00 for staff and students, and $10.00 for general admission.

Tonight christens the show weekend for the spring musical this year, and you, the dedicated reader of The Fordian should definitely go to at least one of the shows, if not all of them! It’s gonna be an amazing production run that the cast, crew, and production staff have really, really, worked hard to put on. So you should go and support them. It’s not a question of if, but merely a question of when.

So we chose to express our feelings in support of ‘Footloose’ through the medium of image. Here are some photos taken from rehearsals this week to reaffirm your interest and to just whet your appetite a bit. Again, go see the show.
