"Hairspray" Hits Washington Park High School

The 2011 Racine Unified Summer Musical is Hairspray, the story of a girl who didn't fit the prescribed definitions of beauty in 1960s Baltimore.

Tracy Turnblad's dream is to be on the dance show on TV. Once she gets her shot, she ushers in a new era ...

Racine Unified students play the roles and all the instruments in the orchestra. They've worked all summer to produce this great show.
