Hairspray

One of the partnerships the library has for the Big Read this year is with the musical, Hairspray. Because of the way the musical deals with issues of racism and discrimination in the early 60s, we thought this would be a perfect pairing! The musical will run from Thursday, Feb. 14 through Tuesday, Feb. 19 in the Atwood Concert Hall. This show is appropriate for adults and children 13 and older. The Big Read and the library will have an informational table on the Orchestra Level for all performances so come talk to us!
