Main ideas of the play
Been working so hard
I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what
Oh, tell me what I got
I've got this feeling
That times are holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Now I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You're burning yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Oo-wee, Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, Milo, come on, come on let's go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
Avoid the cheesey imagery!
Try to be original and do what HAS NOT been done before!

Main ideas of the play
- Rebellion
- The kids in the town decide they want to DANCE and break the rules.
- Big city boy vs. small town
- Ren is from Chicago and moves into this small-town community. He's got a lot of different ideas than everyone else in the town and he influences change.
- Overcoming tragedy and fear
- The play opens up with the 4 teenagers dying in a car wreck coming home from a dance. The town decides to outlaw dancing.

Doodle4google - Due 3/2
MCA College Scholarships - DUE 2/15
Museum of Contemporary Art Denver awards annually over $10,000 in college scholarships to the next generation of creative graduating seniors who have risked failure in pursuit of something new. While so much of student life is focused on achievement, MCA Denver believes that in order to create something original and authentic, it is necessary to risk failure. The Failure Awards are based on documentation of a project the student created or produced that demonstrates originality and creativity. This can be a creative project, like a novel, a play, an opera; a technology-based project like a design for a new car, or a spaceship, or a robot; or something that falls outside of these criteria altogether. Some projects may present solutions to problems in the world, however, all projects will be considered, no matter how harebrained, impractical, or absurd.

Check back in November for more details. Scholarship applications for 2018 open December 1, 2017.
