BENT: A Miscast Cabaret
Friday, April 18, 2025, at 7:30 PM
at Haddonfield Plays & Players
When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to the small farming town of Bomont, he finds himself at odds with most of the town, including Reverend Shaw Moore. The Reverend has convinced the town to outlaw dancing and is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. With the help of Ariel (the Reverend’s daughter) and Willard (his only friend in town), Ren unites the town's youth and convinces the Reverend to let the teenagers dance, and in the process helps the town to heal from a tragedy that affected them all.
To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.
