On March 4th and 5th, Elmont Memorial High School presented Footloose: The Musical. Both performances were to crowds of over 400 audience members. A special free performance was given on March 2nd for the local senior citizens. The show featured a showcase of multi-talented young male and female performers from the 9th through 12th grades. The musical was directed by music teacher Nickolette Kacharaba, produced by music teacher Christine Johnson and choreographed by special education teacher Rachel Unterricht.
