Toledo School for the Arts Presents Hairspray
Toledo, Ohio – Toledo School for the Arts (TSA) will visit 1960s Baltimore in this larger than life musical featuring big hair and bigger dance numbers Thursday – Sunday, November 3 to 6, 2011, at Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts.
“We are excited to bring one of America’s favorite musicals to TSA,” said David Saygers, Artistic Director of TSA. “It’s a great show about the early days of integration, fun music and a story that champions the underdog.”
Hairspray (book by Mark O’ Donnell and Thomas Meehan, music and lyrics by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Scott Wittman) follows plus-size heroine Tracy Turnblad as she transforms from outsider to celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent bring integration to Baltimore TV and find true love without mussing her hair?
Maumee native and TSA Senior Katie Momenee is playing the featured roll of Tracy Turnblad who achieves her dream of becoming a regular on the Corny Collins Dance Show. As teen hero, she starts using her fame to launch a campaign to integrate the show and speak out for the social causes she believes in!
