  • FOOTLOOSE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS from the Author: the Major Characters in Footloose Have One Trait in Common: They Are All Survivors
    FOOTLOOSE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS From the author: The major characters in Footloose have one trait in common: they are all survivors. Their circumstances, no matter how tragic, have not defeated them. As a consequence, the audience finds them likable, sympathetic, and human. This means that each role is unique and presents the actor with specific challenges. Thumbnail sketches of some of these characters are provided below. There will be a lot of support with dancing. The show will be choreographed in a way that stretches students’ dancing abilities without hindering their performances. If you do not consider yourself a dancer, see learning choreography as another step in your education as a theatrical performer. MALE CHARACTERS REN MCCORMACK (Leading role, dancer) A teenage boy from Chicago. Ideally, Ren must sing and dance – and he must also be fairly witty. Ren is a joker who enjoys a good time (which is why his pals are upset to find out he’s leaving Chicago in the opening number). Lately though, his fun-loving attitude has taken on a tone of desperation. He is trying too hard to convince the world, and himself, that his father’s desertion hasn’t wounded him as deeply as it has. Ariel is the first character to get Ren to talk about that sticky subject. Sharing that intimacy early on becomes the basis for Ren’s and Ariel’s relationship. Ren’s emotional journey starts with his being feisty and flippant in Act 1, continues through his thoughtful argument to the Town Council, and ends with this emotional final confrontation with Reverend Moore.
