“Through song and dance, we’re teaching the children who are in the play and hopefully the audience, if they’re not already aware of it, that it doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what shape, size or the color of your skin that at the end of the day, we should treat each other well; do something special for each other and live a good life. We think that the message of Hairspray is acceptance.”
Devon Yates
Executive/ Artistic Director, Theatre 360

This summer, Theatre 360 is excited to present Hairspray performed by our students ages 6-19.  We do three shows per year, and try to give our kids a fun, rewarding, and as professional an experience as possible from the audition through closing night. Throughout the rehearsal process, our students are coached by their director, choreographer, and musical director. We provide just about everything: costumes, lighting, sets, and the kids perform with a live band. Part of our mission is to give kids a well-rounded theatre education--so even our technical crew and stage manager are students! We feel very gratified when students who have been with us since we began, ten years ago, have now grown up and are going on to top notch colleges such as Carnegie Mellon, Syracuse University, Emerson, and USC.

For Hairspray we would like to provide period, authentic, super fun costumes and wigs, and as this show has a big cast, we realize we may need some help to be able to give our kids this special opportunity.

Thank you in advance for your support!
