Ariel is a strong willed, self motivated girl. She loves her family, but at the same time, she is yearning to be herself. She is a lead role and the rebellious daughter of Rev. Moore.

Rusty is a girl dedicated to Willard, her man. She's very caring, but very witty, and is not afraid to speak her mind. She may talk a mile a minute, but most of it IS valid.

Ren McCormack — A teenager from Chicago who loves to dance. He is the new guy which intrigues Ariel. He helps to get a dance approved in this small town, even though Rev. Moore and his congregation are against it. This is the male lead role and requires a strong dancer.

Rev. Shaw Moore — The powerful and very traditional local minister who due to the loss of his son, he has led a campaign of no dancing and burning of non-approved books. He is a lead role for an adult.

Chuck Cranston — The local bad boy and Ariel's boyfriend. He is more accepted by Rev. Moore since he is a local boy. Ariel dumps him for Ren, the new, more exciting new boy in town.

Ethel McCormack — Ren's mother. Considered a supporting role, she tends to not stand up for Ren, but let's the view of the town stay intact.

Vi Moore — Reverand Shaw's wife. She has a quiet way about her and she is supportive of letting the kids have more freedom, but yet is also supportive of her husband. This is a supporting role.

Willlard Hewitt — The kind country yokel who can’t dance and is befriended by Ren. This is a supporting role and requires an about face with not being able to dance, but learns to dance in the process of the production.

Urleen and Wendy Jo — Ariel's friends. Cameo roles, most likely unspoken in a stage production. In the movie, they are in the car that Ariel is straddling with the truck of her bad boy, boyfriend.
