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 Christmas Carol, What the Dickens?!
- A Traditional Story with a Modern Twist
Adapted from the original Charles Dickens tale by Cynthia Penn-Halal
(Originally workshopped in 2023, 2nd show run in 2024)

Hold on to your nightcaps! Walltown Children’s Theatre has transported the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge and the gang, from the blustery streets of 19th century London to modern-day America. While addressing the unchanging issues of greed, generosity, and economic inequality, “What the Dickens?” draws inspiration from contemporary music, modern dance and includes a number of original songs. Audiences of any age will find this quirky modern-musical inspiring and brimming with holiday spirit.
