BCT company member Will Ledesma appears as the intolerant Rev. Shaw Moore, who has banned dancing. The BCT creative team putting this all together includes Artistic Director Colton Berry (who directs and also appears as Willard), company choreographer and Houston Theater Awards Best Choreographer winner Luke Hamilton (who choreographs and also appears as Chuck Cranston) and Music Director Jane Volke.
