ACT 1
In a Chicago dance club, friends say
good-bye to Ren McCormack. Because Ren's father has left them, he and his
mother are moving in with family in Bomont, a small town where the
community is carefully monitored by the powerful, local minister, Reverend
Shaw Moore.
Ren quickly feels stifled by the
atmosphere in Bomont. The only person who seems to rebel is the Reverend's
own daughter Ariel - she's even dating bad boy Chuck Cranston. At school,
Ren discovers an unlikely friend in Willard Hewitt, who is unnerved by
Ren's restless energy.
Ren is stunned to discover that "no
dancing of any kind is allowed within the town limits of Bomont."
Rusty, Urleen, and Wendy Jo, Ariel's best friends, explain that this law
dates back to a car accident five years ago that claimed the lives of four
Bomont teens. They warn that conformity is part of small-town life.
Tensions rise between Rev. Moore and
Ariel. His wife, Vi, tries unsuccessfully to intervene, finding friendly
support in Ren's mom, Ethel.
At a local diner, Ariel and her
Girlfriends bemoan the lack of exciting guys in their lives. Chuck storms
in and gets tough with Ariel; Ren leaps to her defense. In appreciation,
Ariel lets Ren in on her secret ritual - running through the fields of
Bomont, yelling after the trains that will one day, she vows, carry her
far away. Ren and Ariel find it surprisingly easy to talk, but when he
walks her home, Rev. Moore demands that she never see Ren again.
ACT II
Ren drives Arie, Rusty and Willard a
hundred miles outside of Bomont to a western dance hall. Willard confesses
that he can't dance. While Willard, Rusty explains what she likes about
this guy with two left feet.
When Ariel arrives home, her defiance
provokes Shaw and he almost slaps her. Vi pleads her daughter's case, but
Shaw refuses to admit his treatment of Ariel has grown severe since the
death of their son, who, as it turns out, was one of the four teens killed
in that fateful car accident.
Meanwhile, Ren's meeting with the Town
Council to challenge the ban on dancing approaches. Willard bolsters him
with loopy Hewitt-family wisdom. Ariel arrives angry and bruised; she's
broken up with Chuck. She leads Ren to the railroad trestle above the
river in which her brother drowned. Alone they discover that their
friendship has turned to love.
At the Town Council meeting, Ren makes a
convincing argument by quoting passages from a Bible which Ariel marked
for him, but his motion is defeated. Ethel convinces him that Shaw Moore
fixed the vote. Ren goes to church to speak to Shaw, but the Reverend
throws him out. Shaw then realized how his son's death has overshadowed
his life - and the lives of everyone in Bomont. A dance might be a good
idea afterall. He shares his newfound peace of mind with Vi.
For the first time in years, the young
people of Bomont dress up to "tear up this town"; Reverent Moore
enters with Vi and all the other adults in town, making it a community
celebration. |
