This
1998 musical is based on the 1984 film. When Ren and his mother move from
Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment
period at his new high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous
local laws, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher,
determined to exercise the control over the town’s youth that he cannot command
in his own home. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on
Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of
the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. 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.
The
Spotlights’ production features a very talented cast of local actors, including
Katie Atkinson, Nick Beiser, Sr., Nicholas Beiser, Bill Bergeron, Francine
Bergeron, Adam Bowers, David Bowler, Delia Brennan, Clorise Busch, Tara
Corkery, Ellie St. Cyr, Stephanie Duganier, Charlie Jones, Sean McCormick, Connor
