SUMMARY:HAIRSPRAY at The Umbrella Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella Stage Company proudly presents HAIRSPRAY\, directed and choreographed by Najee Brown. With big hair\, big laughs\, and even bigger heart\, this joyous\, high-energy musical proves that when we dance together\, anything is possible. \nPreviews: Friday\, April 24 & Saturday\, April 25\, 2026. Playing: Sunday\, April 26\, 2026 through Sunday\, May 17\, 2026 in Theater 144 at 40 Stow Street | Concord\, MA \nHairspray\, the Tony award winner based on the John Waters film\, is a 1960s musical piled bouffant-high with revolutionary joy. Tracy Turnblad’s dream to dance on the Corny Collins Show has come true\, but this determined teen won’t just do the twist and the mashed potato: she’ll use her star power to integrate Baltimore’s TV network to a swingin’ soundtrack! The Color Purple choreographer Najee Brown makes his Umbrella directing debut with this big-hearted celebration of what happens when everyone gets a chance to dance. \nShows run Sunday at 3:00 PM\, Thursday & Friday at 7:30 PM\, and Saturday at 8:00 PM (with an exception for a 6:30 PM performance Sunday\, May 3). \nSpecial KidCare Shows on May 3 and May 17 will allow parents an opportunity to attend a matinee performance while their child(ren) ages 5-12 engage in art activities inspired by the show in one of The Umbrella’s classrooms with an experienced teacher. \nDinner & A Show packages are available for all Thursday night performances.  \nBook by Mark O’Donnell & Thomas Meehan. Music by Marc Shaiman. Lyrics by Scott Wittman & Marc Shaiman. Based on the New Line Cinema film\, written and directed by John Waters.  \nHAIRSPRAY is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIshows.org.

SUMMARY:The Concord Players present Brigadoon
