JAN 23-31, 2026
When Ren, the young protagonist, moves to a small town called Bomont, he is faced with an oppressive reality: the town has outlawed dancing. The story follows Ren as he dares to be different, inspiring his new friends and challenging the authority of minister Shaw Moore. Centering the themes of self-expression and change, The Dolphin Show’s production of Footloose explores what can happen when one person decides to take a stand.

Curious how The Dolphin Show’s Footloose came to life? The journey began in May 2025, when the show was selected. Then, throughout the summer and fall quarters of 2025, a team of around 150 undergraduate Northwestern students worked on the show, preparing it to perform in January 2026.
