One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, 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. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 17 million copies!) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

a MUSICAL re-imagined production of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker!
This hometown holiday favorite combines the best of both worlds: the iconic spectacle of Tchaikovsky’s ballet with an engaging story of a young dancer pursuing a dream in the face of contemporary — and relatable — challenges. In addition to the traditional journeys of Clara and the nutcracker prince through the lands of snow and sweets, WCT’s “The Durham Nutcracker”, boasting a highly diverse cast, tells the behind-the scenes story of Sara Love, a young dancer facing challenges both in and out of the dance studio. Our story follows Sara, the other students and their parents as the kids audition for the Nutcracker Ballet and shows not only the importance of facing your fears and striving for what you want, but that perseverance and courage are equally important as talent. It emphasizes the importance of family during a traditional family-centered time of year. |
