PICTURES: Students of Castlecomer cut Footloose with a musical night for the ages!

TY students in Castlecomer Community School impressed - photographer Alf Harvey got some great pictures

Castlecomer Community Hall was the place to cut loose in recent days as - uniquely - every single student in Castlecomer Community School's Transition Year took to the stage with their high-energy production of Footloose!

The toe-tapping musical provided several fantastic nights of entertainment for the whole community. Photographer Alf Harvey got some fantastic pictures of performers and enthralled audiences enjoying the show.

Based on the hit film that had everyone dancing in the aisles, Footloose tells the story of city teenager Ren McCormack who arrives in a small town where dancing has been banned. What follows was a lively battle of wills, big personalities, and even bigger dance numbers. TAP HERE FOR MORE CASTLECOMER NEWS

With colourful characters, catchy songs, and plenty of high-kicking choreography, audiences were treated to an evening that had toes tapping and hands clapping from start to finish.
