Footloose is a 1984 American film that tells the story of Ren McCormack, played by Kevin Bacon, a teenager who was raised in Chicago. McCormack moves to a small town where the local government has banned dancing and rock music. Ren and his classmates want to have a senior prom with music and dancing. They must figure out a way to get around the law and Reverend Shaw Moore, played by John Lithgow, who blames rock music's influence for the death of his first child. The 1998 musical based on the 1984 film of the same name. The music is by Tom Snow (among others), the lyrics by Dean Pitchford (with additional lyrics by Kenny Loggins), and the book is by Pitchford and Walter Bobbie.

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre has been serving up food, fun, and fabulous entertainment since 1973.  Located in College Park, the theatre was a part of a chain of dinner theatres built by Louiville contractor J. Scott Talbott.  It was called 'Beef' because of the roast beef served for dinner and 'Boards' referring to the boards of a stage or theatre.
