"Hairspray"-movie trailer


Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now-"Hairspray" Information

Hairspray is a musical with music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman and a book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan, based on the 1988 John Waters film Hairspray. The songs include 1960s-style dance music and "downtown" rhythm and blues

In 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, plump teenager Tracy Turnblad's dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show, a local TV dance program based on the real-life Buddy Deane Show.[1] When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight, and meets a colorful array of characters, such as Corny Collins (The show's singing host who shares Tracy's liberal political views) and Velma Von Tussle (The villainous producer of the show who does everything in her power to further her daughter's career and destroy Tracy's and Corny's). She then launches a campaign to integrate the show.  

Hairspray is a social commentary on the injustices of parts of American society in the 1960s.

The musical's original Broadway production opened on August 15th, 2002.

Welcome to CounterClockwise

Dear Friends,
I am pleased to announce that our next show will be "CounterClockwise".
It is an original theatrical production that is a combined effort of all cast members.
CounterClockwise is a poignant journey about growing into adulthood.  The show weaves it's way through three distinct passages in our lives: youth, middle age and our later years.  All cast members will participate in these unique stages of life, as well as have the opportunity to share their own individual thoughts and perspectives about growing up.
This is a wonderful opportunity for all members to create and develop as actors and innovators.
There are no auditions for this production. 

Each member will have the chance to choose sections of the play in which they feel most connected to and would like to explore.  That being said, rehearsal time will vary for all cast members. 

Once all parts have been delegated, I will be able to be more specific in regards to times/dates for each cast member and  their rehearsal.  If you have any conflicts, I will need to know them as soon as possible.  As we draw nearer to the production (three weeks out)...then all members will need attend the rehearsals listed.

One more note, your cast member will need by the first rehearsal:


1-Journal
1-three ring binder
Two Quotes representing themselves in some way



FYI:
Costumes:
Black leggings, black long sleeved shirts, black shoes (ballet slippers are fine)

(Costumes will be add-ons)
Each cast member needs two pictures of themselves: one as a baby and one current. 
These pictures need to be sent to me as a jpeg.


I have missed this part of my life and look forward to seeing everyone very soon!
