Hairspray

January 13 - 29

Adapted by Jack Melanos
From the story by
the Brothers Grimm

Based on the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, this adaptation will take you on an adventurous journey.  A couple, rejoicing at the birth of Rapunzel, their first baby, are horrified when the child is claimed and taken by a witch, who needs the baby for her own evil purposes. Rapunzel is brought up in the witch’s care, unaware of her real parentage. She retains enough human instinct to resist the witch’s spells and earns the love of others who have fallen under the witch’s enchantment. For this she is exiled to a lonely tower, where no one but the witch may gain admittance, achieved only by climbing up the tower upon Rapunzel’s long hair. A young prince happens on the scene by accident and learns the secret. When he tries to rescue Rapunzel, he too falls under the witch’s spell. Will good triumph?  Will the witch’s spell be broken? An entertaining ride for the entire family staged in the intimacy of the William G. Fry Theatre.
