We’re Thrilled to Announce Our Fall Musical – Footloose!

It’s Time to Cut Loose!

Footloose, the Musical is an energetic and heartfelt stage adaptation of the 1984 hit film, telling the story of Ren McCormack, a teenager who moves from Chicago to a small rural town where dancing and rock music are banned. Determined to challenge the oppressive rules and bring joy back to the community, Ren clashes with the town’s strict Reverend Shaw Moore while also falling for his rebellious daughter, Ariel. Filled with high-spirited choreography, emotional moments, and a soundtrack packed with iconic songs like “Holding Out for a Hero,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” and the title hit “Footloose,” the musical celebrates freedom, self-expression, and the power of youth to spark change.

Cultivating Creativity Through Theatre Arts

Aragon High School Drama strives to be a welcoming space for students to explore self expression through the arts of acting and technical theatre. Shane Smuin, Aragon’s Artistic Director, believes that theatre is a conservatory: a safe space where self expression and personal growth is cultivated, encouraged, and developed.

In Beginning Drama class, students begin the process of self expression through theatre games, monologues, scenes, published plays, and original projects.

In Advanced Drama, students deepen their understanding through advanced improvisational work, classical monologues and scripts. As well, students write their own short plays culminating in an on-stage final performance. At the conclusion of the year, the students also perform and produce a One-Act Musical.

In Technical Theatre, students learn practical hands-on skills and techniques for the creation of sets, designed by Fred Eiras, Set Designer, for Aragon Drama’s mainstage productions. Through this process, they gain a deeper understanding of the technical and design elements of theatre.
