Good morning, Baltimore!

PlayMakers Repertory Company’s Summer Youth Conservatory is staging the hit musical “Hairspray” this weekend at the Paul Green Theare in the Center for Dramatic Art on Country Club Road.

A story of inclusivity set in 1962 Baltimore, “Hairspray” is the story of plus-size teen Tracy Turnblad and her push to get recognized as a dancer on the “Corny Collins Show” – while joining the fight for racial integration.

Watch a trailer for the show.

The Summer Youth Conservatory brings area high schoolers together each year for an intensive five-week training program. “Hairspray” marks the culmination of this year’s conservatory.

Director Desdemona Chiang, choreographer Matt Steffens, and actors Sadie Frank and Daniel Johnson (both rising high school seniors) joined Aaron Keck on WCHL to discuss the show.

“Hairspray” opened on Wednesday and runs through Sunday, with shows at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $10-15; you can purchase them either by calling 919-962-PLAY, by visiting the PlayMakers box office, or online at PlayMakersRep.org.
