LEWISBURG, WV – Bluegrass band Harmony Creek Junction will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. May 23 at Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg. The performance is part of the Hall's "Pay What You Can" series.
For the first time in
30 years, a musical will be presented by students on the campus of West
Virginia State University.
Students in the
Music and Communications departments of WVSU are teaming up to present the
Broadway musical "Hairspray" at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14-17 in the Davis Fine Arts
Theater.
"There is a lot
of talent on this campus, and we are going to make good use of it in this
musical," said Professor Susan Marrash-Minnerly, who is also serving as the
director of the musical. "These kids deserve an opportunity to show off their
talents."
The cast for
"Hairspray" is all students, with one exception. WVSU English professor Tim
Alderman also has a role in the show.
Marrash-Minnerly
said that she had wanted to perform a musical on campus for some time, and "Hairspray" was the leading choice because it is "big, splashy and fun."
"Hairspray" is
set in the 1960s and follows Baltimore's Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big
hair and an even bigger heart, who has a passion to dance. She wins a spot on
the local TV dance show, "The Corny Collins Show" and overnight is
transformed into a teen celebrity. She then uses her newfound fame to launch a
campaign to racially integrate the show.
"I think that a
lot of issues addressed in ‘Hairspray' are appropriate to talk about on a
college campus," Marrash-Minnerly said. "It is about acceptance, and it
delivers the message in a fun and wild manner."
