FOOTLOOSE is a 1998 musical based on the 1984 film of the same name. The music is by Tom Snow (among others), the lyrics by Dean Pitchford (with additional lyrics by Kenny Loggins), and the book by Pitchford and Walter Bobbie.

FOOTLOOSE explodes onto the stage with classic 80s anthems including Holding Out For A Hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear It For The Boy, and of course the title track, Footloose.

Life in small-town Bomont is peaceful until City boy, Ren, arrives. Breaking every taboo, Ren brings dance back to the heart of a town held back by the memory of a tragedy.

Balcony seating is $15
VIP Boxes are $125 and seat 4 people

July 25th @8PM

For fifteen years Reckless Kelly has been doing things their way, straddling the fence between country and rock as if they built it themselves. Throughout the years their old school approach to recording has always adhered to one main objective: make each record better than the last. That’s country rock. That’s old school. That’s Reckless Kelly.Opening for Reckless Kelly is our own Taylor Heard!

Taylor Heard is an award-winning singer/songwriter from a small town in East Texas. She recently won the prestigious John Ritter Showcase in Carthage, Texas. This competition earned her the title “Texas Country Music Hall of Fame Representative for 2013″. Taylor also won the People’s Choice Award at the showcase which meant so much coming from the audience of such a respectable event. ” My music is for every individual because it has a soul,” Taylor says. “I want the audience to feel pain when I sing about heartbreak, laugh out loud when it’s about loving life , and get up and dance when they hear it because they just can’t help it! ”
