A Note from the Director

There is something to be said about the way our stage of life influences the way we respond to tragedy . As teens, when there is nothing but potential and possibility, we tend to face the world with resiliency,

energy, fearlessness, and excitement . Tragedies happen, but instead of cowering under the heavy weight of loss, a youthful response might more likely be one of movement—moving through the tragedy to overcome it, fix it, change it or change the world that created it in the first place . Life seems long and difficulties seem to fade quickly . And they can’t stand still .

As we age, we are confronted with the reality that life is short . Time is precious, and people we love are paramount in our priorities . With this awareness, adults, especially parents, often face tragedy differently . When confronted with loss, they might want to cocoon, shelter, avoid, and protect . The result of tragedy stirs in them a sense of fear, a heaviness, a powerlessness, a desire to avoid anything and everything that could possibly lead to another tragedy . They stand still .

The message that Footloose inspires for us is that sometimes, whether we are young or old, when the pressures of the world are heavy, when the stresses of life and loss are overpowering, or when it seems that “time is holding you down”…you’ve got to cut loose of those heavy chains . Let go . Release . And dance with the people you love…as often as you can!

—Kimberly Mohne Hill, Director
