Join us as we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of this classic story, unforgettable music and dynamic dancing. Thirty years ago, Kevin Bacon taught the youth of Bomont ? and the nation ? that kids just want to dance. Footloose made its big screen debut in 1984, and became a box office hit. Nominated for an Oscar award for best song, the movie captured the hearts and imaginations ? and dancing feet ? of a generation. Now, thirty years later, through the talented company at ShenanArts, Footloose returns to our community in the beautiful nTelos Theater at Gypsy Hill Place in Staunton, VA.

On Twitter, Julianne Hough debuted her Halloween costume, dressed in blackface as the popular ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK character, 'Crazy Eyes', played by Uzo Abuda. After an Internet uproar (really, people are still trying blackface in 2013?) she's now gone back on Twitter to apologize, writing today that 'I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created. It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize.'
