[Capital Area Productions]

Capital Area Productions presents...



MAY 13th- 15th for 4 performances
to GENET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in East Greenbush!

HAIRSPRAY delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air.  Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?



Hairspray -  We have several roles available for African American teens (ages 13-20), and also an Adult Male and ensemble roles for Adults (see below) 



Wilbur Turnblad - Tracy's goofy father, who owns the Har-De-Har Hut joke shop and is still madly in love with his wife, Edna. He encourages Tracy to follow her dreams.

2 - Dynamites - Female jazz trio who do everything together. Must be excellent singers. Must move well.

Cindy, Lorraine - Considered Motormouth's Teens, friends with Seaweed and Inez. Must move well.

Stooie, Thad - Considered Motormouth's Teens, friends with Seaweed. Must move well.

Adult Ensemble - all ages, appear throughout show
