DAVID CONNOLLY: The High School Musical Production Program offers community. It offers an opportunity to work with professionals, mentors – both onstage and offstage – who are working in the business right now. 

You are going to learn from people who are really invested in the idea that generational change is possible through arts education. 

We chose Footloose because the music is extraordinary, an award-winning soundtrack. There's a great story of what it means to be a family, of what it means to be a friend. 

It's as important that you work on your craft of singing, dancing and acting as you work on the life skill sets of acceptance and tolerance. 

Everybody leaves every rehearsal feeling better, lighter and more empowered than when they came in.	David Connolly, director and choreographer of Footloose, sits in a rehearsal studio and speaks to the camera. Footage of Footloose rehearsals are shown on screen.
