Penobscot Theatre Company's Dramatic Academy is readying for its first youth production of the summer, Hairspray. Set in Baltimore in the late 1960s, this hit Broadway musical follows big-haired and big-hearted Tracy Turnblad, a spunky teenager who realizes her dream of dancing on a popular television program then launches a campaign to integrate the show. 'As a musical theatre junkie, I am thrilled to be producing Hairspray,' said Christie Robinson, who is directing along with Ben Layman, assisted by Alek Sayers. 'A feel-good, sparkly musical with big dance numbers, big notes, and big hair? What's not to love?'
