Winter Play Review
The title of the play that I watched was the musical Footlose. I saw it on Saturday March 2nd in the Black Box Theatre.
The plot of the play is that there is a teenager named Ren who moved from Chicago to this little town called Boumont. Ren is a rebel type of character and he does not like to follow the rules. One of the things that he loves doing in dancing. It is something that he loves to do. However, one of the laws I the town is that dancing is not allowed because of an accident that happened year ago. The general plot is that Ren comes to this town and revolts against the reverend of the church to allow dancing again. There is a lot of conflict between Ren and the reverend. By the end of the play the law is changed and dancing is allowed again.
The stage was pretty open throughout the play. There were a lot of scenes where at least half of the stage was empty such as in the church scenes, the dinner scenes and the train track scenes. The costumes were pretty good throughout the performance. It was easy to tell that Ren was from a modern area while everyone else looked like they lived in the country side. This was shown through the costumes that the characters wore. The characters that were highlighted as the most important was Ren, Shaw, and Ariel. This was done by them always being in the center of the stage and everybody always talking to them or about these characters. Some characters that were similar to each other were Ren and Ariel because they both want to be adventurous. Two characters that are different are the reverend and Chuck because Chuck is a person who likes to do bad things whereas the Reverend is an upstanding preacher in the church.
My favorite actor was Nan. She was the character of Chuck. She did a great job of being the bad guy in the play. She talked with attitude and her presence was always felt on the stage.
I really enjoyed the play. I felt like it was well put together and all of the performers did a great job. I really liked the group songs and dance and I also liked the one on one character interactions.
