A Story of Inclusion, Empowerment, and Fun
Set in the 1960s, Hairspray tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a spirited teenager with big dreams and an even bigger heart. Her love for dancing lands her a spot on The Corny Collins Show, where she becomes a voice for racial integration and self-acceptance. Featuring iconic songs like “You Can’t Stop the Beat” and “Good Morning Baltimore,” the musical celebrates diversity, standing up for what’s right, and the joy of embracing who you are.

Directed by Steffon Sampson, this production features an incredible local cast that brings the vibrant world of Hairspray to life.
