Cut Footloose Whoa-oh-oh

This year our high school musical was Footloose. I was fortunate to be a part of the cast, and had a great time being able to put on a show for the students and the public. It was great to perform with some old friends, and to make some new friends in the process of the show. There are lots of great memories from the show. One of the best parts about being a memeber of the adults chorus was you got to make up a character for your part. My character started out single, then in the Still Rockin' bar scene I eloped with another member of the adult chorus, who's husband had left her and her son (Bickle (Willard's friend)) to join a band. She married me to get back at her husband, and her son ran off and was adopted by Mama (as in Mama says). At the end we got a divorce, after we had Vance (genetically it was impossible for us to have him, but we don't really care). Then after that Vance and my wife left and I married Ethel McCormik (Ren's mom), and that was my character.
There are lots of Footloose stories, but I don't really have the time to share them all, just know when you're locked in a place from four to ten every night for three weeks fun things tend to happen.
