While it is with a heavy heart that we announce that we will need an additional year to resume our tradition of serving over 20,000 community members and tourists at American Stage in the Park and Gala Under the Stars, we feel confident that a return in the Spring of 2022 will give both American Stage and our community the opportunity to celebrate this tradition in its full glory.

If you have a ticket(s) for American Stage in the Park’s FOOTLOOSE:

• Your ticket(s) will automatically be moved to the production in Spring of 2022. You will not need to contact us or do anything further.
• In the event that you are unable to attend during the Spring of 2022 (April and May), we are able to convert the value of your ticket(s) into a Loyalty Pass or a tax-deductible donation. A Loyalty Pass is a credit to your account for future purchases and valid through August 31, 2022. Please email us at boxoffice@americanstage.org with your preferred option.

As a non-profit organization, American Stage relies on ticket sales, class enrollments and donations. We ask for your consideration and continued support of powerful stories, boldly told, as we move past this challenging time together.

Performed at Demens Landing Park

Get ready to kick off your Sunday shoes as the high-energy pop musical FOOTLOOSE dances into Demens Landing for American Stage in the Park’s 2022 production. Based on the explosive rock-n-roll musical movie, this Broadway hit tells the story of Ren McCormack, a big-city teen who finds himself out of place in a rural town where dancing has been outlawed. As he tries to carve out a place for himself, he ignites a revolution in the town as the younger generation rebels against the strict rules of the local preacher.  Through explosive choreography and invigorating songs, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the spirit and optimism of young people fighting for change.

ABOUT AMERICAN STAGE IN THE PARK American Stage in the Park has been a celebrated Tampa Bay tradition for over thirty years. Established in 1986, American Stage in the Park was first known for producing Shakespeare to audiences in and around Tampa Bay.  In 2006, American Stage in the Park expanded to included comedies and modern musicals presented under the stars each spring at Demens Landing Park in downtown St. Pete.

PLEASE NOTE: No alcohol or pets are allowed into the park, by City Ordinance. Food and beverages (both alcoholic and non) are available at concessions.
