Middle & Senior play Footloose
ÚLTIMO MOMENTO:
En virtud del cierre preventivo del colegio determinado por las autoridades de Salud el pasado sábado 30, las nuevas fechas tentativas para las funciones del play «Footloose» son el martes 1º, miércoles 2 y jueves 3 de septiembre próximo.
Se trata del estreno que presentarán The Middle & Senior BDS Players, bajo la dirección de Hernán Laperuta, dirección musical de Carina Cristina, coreografías de Laura Albarracín y coordinación de la producción a cargo de Marisú Barón, siempre acompañada por las mamás del BDS Workshop en escenografía y vestuario.
Justamente, fue Marisú quien informó: «Los chicos estaban ensayando tres veces por semana canto, baile y actuación. Hay aproximadamente 75 alumnos en el elenco, más 12 que participarán en el backstage. Un verdadero trabajo de equipo».
A continuación una síntesis de la historia.
«When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren 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 15 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…»
