MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
RANDAL HUBER
Welcome Theatre-Goers!
Thank you for joining us for today’s performance of Footloose:
The Musical !
Each summer Chemainus Theatre offers you the rare opportunity
to take in a professional Broadway musical in our intimate
274 seat venue, where the back of the house is row eight.
No opera glasses needed here; all the action and energy is
so close you can almost reach out and touch it.
“Footloose
is pure
nostalgia
for me”
As with the majority of our productions, Footloose was built
and rehearsed right here in Chemainus; costumes, set, props
...the whole gambit. While the actors hail from across Canada,
they call Chemainus home for the four months that they rehearse
and perform this show.
Complete your Chemainus Theatre Experience by pursuing our
fine gift gallery, enjoying a sumptuous buffet in the Playbill Dining
Room and strolling through town to take in the shops, cafes
and world-famous murals. I also recommend trying our luxurious
theatre getaway on your next visit by reserving a package that
includes a nights’ stay in the award-winning Chemainus Best
Western Plus Chemainus Inn.
As a child of the 80’s, Footloose is pure nostalgia for me and
conjures wonderful memories of MTV, Rubik’s Cubes, Gretzky
& the Oilers dynasty, acid wash jeans and making mixed tapes
(which I now realize posed copyright issues). So buckle up for
this high energy flashback called Footloose. Nanu nanu.

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
MARK DUMEZ
This summer we welcome an energetic cast and crew from
across Canada to tell the story of Footloose. It’s got up tempo
numbers, great dancing and some killer ballads. It’s got lots
of 80’s nostalgia for all those who enjoyed teasing their hair,
bright colours and slipping into a fresh pair of jeans. And
check out that bridge!
“a slice of
life full of
angst and
glory”
Footloose also offers a quirky look at an age old dynamic – the
motion of young adults trying to stand on their own as parental
pull simultaneously assists and prohibits that motion. The stakes
can be high as teenagers break away. Indeed, as this small
town knows, they can be life and death. And yet, in the jostling
of finding self within the community of family and town – the
most powerful force always seems to be some form of love.
Love for kids and community alongside teenage crushes and
raging hormones. Footloose is a slice of life full of angst and
glory and a fun, toe-tapping tale to tell. At the end of it, I hope
a few kids might want to call a relative and tell them thanks for
putting up with their teenage years – and a few parents might
want to hug their kids a little tighter – but maybe between the
dancing! Enjoy your time in the theatre.

“We like it live”
Musicals adapted from movies are popping up in theatres around the world. And that’s
no big surprise. Classic song and dance shows like 42nd Street, The Producers, and
Singing’ in the Rain have been adapted from other sources for decades (including
books, song, and radio).
What is changing is that the adaptations are more frequent, and springing from more
modern films (The Lion King, High School Musical, South Park). We think that’s good
news. The live telling of a terrific story is the best form of entertainment, and we’re
thrilled to see more crossover!
In the tradition of great screen-to-stage adaptations, we’re excited to bring you Footloose.
In today’s show, you’ll find the plot stays faithful to the 1984 film’s spirit of youth,
rebellion, and romance. However, you’re in for a treat as the adaptation includes some
clever improvements. Footloose, the musical, will give you more flashy dancing, live
rock music, and a powerful experience of the sweet story that made the original movie
a world phenomenon.
Bringing a major Broadway production to our stage is a big task. Our greatest thanks
goes to our artistic team, actors, production team, sponsors, volunteers, and all those
who have truly “kicked off their Sunday shoes” to make the show sizzle.
And thank you as always to our audience. We couldn’t be happier that you, too,
like it live.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
Barbara Tomasic
Dance can be a way to express our deepest emotions – joy,
love, and sometimes even sadness. We dance at weddings,
birthdays, and great celebrations. There is a sense of abandon
when we dance, a loss of intellectual control.
Footloose is a story about dancing, but it’s also about a family
and a town that is grieving a great loss. It’s a story about how
fear and grief can cause us to control the things around us,
when what we really need is to let go.
I love this story and I’m so grateful to be telling it with the team
here in Chemainus who are so generous of spirit and creativity.
It takes me back to my teens, a time when, as an adolescent,
I struggled to make the adults around me see what I believed to be
the truth. I didn’t understand that they were dealing with their
own emotions and fears and that perhaps there was a meeting
ground where we could connect and learn from each other.
It is also a musical filled with love, heart, and open youthful
energy, something that we can all use a bit of in our sometimes
challenging and adult lives. So, we invite you to let that energy
take you beyond your worries and cares and CUT FOOTLOOSE!!!
Feel free to dance in your seat.
Barbara Tomasic Director

Uplifting entertainment on any day of the week!
Tennessee Williams’ A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur
In her cramped, mid-1930s apartment,
schoolteacher Dottie awaits a call from
her Prince Charming (also her boss, the
high school principal). Despite their
differences in social class she is sure,
after their recent tryst, an engagement is
on the way. But delusional Dottie is headed
for heartbreak, unless one of her two
best friends can help her escape single
womanhood and find true happiness.
Bodey, her dishevelled but good-hearted
roommate, has a plan to arrange a love
match between her portly, cigar-chomping
brother and Dottie. While snooty Helena,
a cheerful bearer of bad news, makes
an uptown offer that may be impossible
to refuse.
Time is ticking to make a decision. Find
out what happens in this rarely produced
dramatic comedy – rich with symbolism,
a bittersweet story of redemption, and
witty dialogue.
A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur plays
at The Chemainus Theatre Festival from
September 9 through 24, 2016. Tickets are
available now at 1.800.565.7738
