Shepard's Pulitzer Prize-winning, contemporary classic drama examines a family with a secret that is clawing away at the souls of its members. When Vince, the grandson, arrives after an absence of several years, the secret threatens to spill forth and destroy everyone. Layered with postmodernist symbolism and sardonic humor, Buried Child won the 1979 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for its depiction of the crumbling of the American Dream.
BWW Exclusive: After 7 years on the road, the National Tour of the Tony® Award-winning hit broadway musical HAIRSPRAY played its final show in Riverside, CA over the weekend of April 24-25, 2010.

HAIRSPRAY, the high-energy, laugh-a-minute musical now back on stage at The Orange County Performing Arts Center (thru April 11) shines a light on race relations during the early part of this volatile decade with a wonderfully delicious storyline, sprinkled with campy fun, an infectious score and a sensational cast that is beaming with joy.
