Bravo to the incredible cast and crew of Footloose! The Ronkonkoma Middle School drama club brought incredible energy, passion and talent to the stage during their performances on Jan. 16-18. 

Based on the iconic 1980s film, Footloose” follows Ren McCormack, a teenage boy who moves with his mother to the small town of Bomont after his father abandons them. There, Ren clashes with the town’s conservative reverend, who has banned late nights, partying, rock music and dancing after a tragic drunk driving accident shakes the town. With the help of the reverend’s daughter, Ariel, and Ren’s friend, Willard, Ren challenges the ban and helps the town heal from its past. 

I am incredibly proud of the cast and crew of ‘Footloose’ for their hard work and extraordinary effort in preparing this entertaining and meaningful show for our community,” said Director Ms. Micalizzi. 

In addition to their performance, the students decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from the 50/50 raffle to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, supporting a cause that aligns with the show’s message.
