What would you do if you found out dancing was banned? Dance your heart out?! That was Ren’s reaction. He was the rebel star of the ’80s dance floor in the screenplay Footloose. You can see him dance about at Matthews Playhouse, who has been hosting performances of Footloose: The Musical. Be sure to check out the last show of this production. It’s a show sure to take you back to the ’80s — from sounds to tight pants and all. $15- $17. 7:30 p.m. Matthews Playhouse of Performing Arts, 100 McDowell St. 704-846-8343. www.matthewsplayhouse.com.
