Herndon High Brings the High-Energy Musical Footloose to the Stage

Herndon High School is proud to present its spring musical, Footloose, a lively and spirited production filled with unforgettable music, dynamic choreography, and a heartwarming message about community and self-expression. Performances will take place May 2–4, 2025 in the Herndon High School Auditorium.

Based on the hit 1984 film, Footloose follows teenager Ren McCormack as he moves from Chicago to a small town where dancing has been banned. Determined to challenge the outdated rule and inspire change, Ren ignites a movement among his classmates—and shakes up the town in the process.

Directed by Scott D. Pafumi, the production features a talented collaboration of more than 80 student performers, production team members, musicians and crew who have worked tirelessly to bring this energetic and emotional story to life. The show includes classic hits like “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and, of course, the iconic title song “Footloose.”

In addition to Pafumi, the Footloose production team includes Jane Waldrop (Music Director), Brandi Weston (Choreographer), Jeremy Shoop (Pit Conductor) and Erin Grogan (Production Assistant). Student leadership includes Christa Anderson (Assistant Director), Amelie Aubouin (Stage Manager) and Carson Brownlee (Technical Director).

Kick up your Sunday shoes and join the students of Herndon High for a night of singing, dancing, and high school talent that will have you tapping your toes and cheering in your seat. Don’t miss your chance to see Herndon High School’s take on this crowd-pleasing classic!
