ANGELA HILLMAN ANGELA HILLMAN The Corny Collins gang. Sidnei Austin as Motormouth Maybelle. CAPA to present classic ‘Hairspray’

For the first time in Livonia Public Schools, the Creative and Per­ forming Arts program at Churchill High School will present the famed musical, Hairspray. This fun and inspira­ tional story about the struggle to achieve in­ tegration in the 1960s will ANGELA be performed by stu­ HILLMAN dents in the CAPA pro­ Jesse Boruff gram at 7:30 p.m. Thurs­ as Edna day through Saturday, Turnblad Nov. 13-15. and Michael All shows are $10 pre­ Gutierrez as ANGELA HILLMAN sale or $12 at the door. Wilbur Helen Delphia, as Tracy Turnblad and Alexander Capeneka, as Reserve at Turnblad. Link Larkin. capaboxoffice@ gmail.com or by calling 734-744-2650 ext. 70463. All performances take place in the auditorium at Churchill High School, 8900 Newburgh Road, between Joy Road and Ann Arbor Trail, in Livo­ nia. Tracy Thrnblad, played by Helen Delphia, journeys through the struggles of being a “chubby” teenager who loves to dance, but can’t seem to catch a break. Along the way, she finds others who have similar struggles being accepted, because of their skin color. Through humor and some truly poignant moments, Tracy and her new friends break the barriers of color and teach people the impor­ tance of using their voices for positive change. Director Angie Hill­ man said it’s a powerful message in this first-time production for CAPA and its audiences. “It is such an honor to bring Hairspray to Livo­ nia for the first time ever. In the creation of this production, it was important for the cast and crew to understand that we are sending the very important message of acceptance, peace and love,” Hillman said. “In a world that often pits us against each other based on ‘differences,’ it is so A R E Y O U vital to tell stories like this to help us unite. Our history, no matter how uncomfortable and bru­ tal, can teach us so much, R E A D Y F O R if we actually learn the lessons. We have all earned valuable lessons during this production and will take them into THIS W INTER? the world long after the curtain closes.” Other highlights of the Do you need gutters or roofing? show include an 8-foot can of hairspray, an ador­ Serving W estern W ayne County for 49 years. able white dog and the iconic role of Tracy’s mom, Edna, convincingly played by male actor Jesse Boruff.
