DIRECTORS’ NOTES
We are excited to present to you Hairspray: The Broadway Musical.
As directors, we were drawn to this musical by the themes, the upbeat
music, the cheeky humor, the ebullient character of Tracy Turnblad,
and the opportunity to fully explore with the students the Lord’s imperative to "act justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God."
Artistically, Hairspray uses humor and upbeat music to capture the
audience’s attention and to invite them to consider some very serious questions. Essential to this humor is the Turnblad family. Because
they are extreme characters—Wilbur is the fun-loving owner of the
Har-Dee-Har Hut (joke shop), and Edna is the overweight operator
of "Edna’s Occidental Laundry"—they have been marginalized and
dismissed by their contemporaries and are therefore able to empathize
with others who are stereotyped. In order to develop this vital humor, we followed the tradition of casting a man in the role of Edna.
Nick Cherone, AACS faculty member (and husband of AACS alumna,
Shannon (Smith) Cherone), captures Edna’s larger-than-life personality and flair. Faculty member Isaac Vineyard plays Edna’s kind and
generous husband. Together, Edna and Wilbur provide Tracy with the
secure and loving home life she needs to lead the struggle to integrate
the Corny Collins TV show.
Musically, Hairspray develops its most powerful ideas within the lyrics. The issue of racial identity and pride is explored in the song "Run
and Tell That." Motormouth Maybelle, in her song "Big, Blond, and
Beautiful," shares the truth she has discovered about body image and
beauty with Edna and encourages her to see herself as the valuable
woman she was made to be. The finale, "You Can’t Stop the Beat,"
celebrates the power of art (in this case music and dance) to build
community and to help the show’s antagonists, Velma and Amber, take
their first steps toward reconciliation. The cast has discussed these issues with the help of seniors Jessica Bamgbade, Taryn Timko, and
Sarah Lyons, all of whom are working on Senior Practicum projects
related to these issues. (Be sure to read their articles in your program.)
Morally, Hairspray presents the audience with a challenge. When
presented with an opportunity to correct injustice, will we be like Tracy and say, "I want to do this, and so should you. It’s what’s right,"
or will choose apathy and inaction? In the lobby you will find AACS
4
students who have chosen to respond to this moral imperative, and our
Lord’s command, to "act justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with
our God." We hope you will stop by and talk with them.
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8 (ESV)
Grace and Peace,
Erin Kauffman, director & music director
Diane Smith, director & producer
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1.
What is the show saying about the value and dignity of human
beings?
2.
With which characters did you most identify and why?
3.
Where have you seen instances of injustice?
4.
What, if anything, do you feel God leading you to do about this
injustice?
5.
What do you think it means to be made in the image of God?
6.
If you believe that all people are made in God's image, how
does that inform the way that you think about yourself ? How
does it shape the ways that you treat others?

All the cupcakes at Omazing Sweet are delicious, handmade, and customized for you. With over 40
cupcakes to choose from, Omazing Sweets has set the bar high with fresh taste, creative recipes, and
great prices. During a recent interview with Chief Baker Okemia Allen she shared her reason for
starting her business:
“I had a friend talk with me about this and she really encouraged me to move forward because she
was once in my shoes. Wanting something so bad, but afraid to take a chance. Now, I am happy to say that
baking is all that I think of. There are so many different things I can do and try. I am not afraid like I used to
be. It was amazing that my first order was for 100 cupcakes followed by several two and three dozen orders
for employees at John Hopkins Hospital.”
During the recent weeks of January and February, the Omazing Sweets Company has baked over 1000
cupcakes. With so much success selling cupcakes, has Omazing Sweets considered selling more than
Cupcakes?
“We do sell a variety of desserts, however; cupcakes are so warm, friendly, and enjoyable for any
occasion. With our variety of selections, you can always be happy with your desert or corporate snack.”
Birthdays, Anniversaries, Baby Showers, Church events, youth sports events, family reunions, all
holidays, and even fund raisers. The occasion always fits our schedule. As a local family owned business
Omazing Sweets prides itself in meeting the needs of all customers. Omazing Sweets has completed
orders within 24 hours of the event and the results have been Omazing.
“I never liked carrot cake, but when I had a sample of the carrot cupcake, I placed an order on the spot…
Gail- Baltimore, MD
“The cupcakes were delicious, flavourful, and reasonably priced. Thank you for bringing joy back to my father’s
life with your desserts….

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
WHERE'S MY FAVORITE CANDY BAR?
14
You may ask this question at intermission, but we encourage you to
ask a different question: Where does my favorite chocolate bar come
from? What you may not know is that cacao beans used in the production of chocolate bars by major manufacturers like M&M/Mars,
Nestle, and Hershey, are often harvested by child slaves in West Africa.
One of the major themes of Hairspray is that all people are
made in the image of God, and in light of that should be treated
with respect and dignity. This is a proposition
we take very seriously as a cast, and it is with this
in mind that we have decided to only sell snacks
made with fair trade principles. This doesn’t
mean you can’t buy delicious chocolate at intermission, but it does mean that all the chocolate
sold will have been made without the use of
slave labor. I find it makes it taste a bit better
as well.
One of the themes you will see is that doing what is right is always more important than
just doing what is easy or familiar. We encounter this in our own lives all the time. We understand that when it comes to the chocolate we
purchase, name brands are more familiar, easier
to find, and cheaper to purchase; however, our
belief that all people are made in the image of
God should compel us to put in the extra effort,
and even some money, to preserve the value of
others.
If you believe that all humans are created in
the image of God, we pray that you will let this
belief inform your actions as you go forward
from this day. We also hope that you will only
buy fair trade chocolate. How can you tell? Look
for the symbols on the left.
As a senior at AACS, I am required to do a Senior Practicum. I
decided to do my practicum on the problem of racial stereotypes and
cultural insensitivity in private schools.
Throughout my experience in Hairspray, I have seen so many connections between the message of the play and the argument of my Senior Practicum. The particular song in Hairspray - "Run and Tell That,"
articulates the pain of racial discrimination and its various forms. The
song opens with the following lyrics:
Isaac Vineyard, AACS faculty member
Jessica Bamgbade, AACS Senior
I can’t see, how people look at me,
and only see the color of my face.
People have a tendency to look at another’s appearance and come
to a conclusion (or several conclusions) about that person just by that
first sighting of the physical appearance. Many of us have heard things
such as "black people don’t swim" or "white people can’t stay on beat;"
however, when statements like that are made, one completely disregards the accomplishments of black swimmers (like Cullen Jones) and
white drummers (like Chad Smith – drummer of the Red Hot Chili
Peppers).
As Christians, we must work hard to look at people not as black or
white, or as male or female. Paul writes to the church at Galatia:
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free,
there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28 (ESV)
As Christians we must look at each individual as a human being, a
human being with a past, a story. It’s up to you to decide whether or
not you want to take the time to get to know the story behind the individual. Please keep this in mind while you watch the show (and even
afterwards)! Enjoy the show!

REDEMPTIVE ART
The artist who is a Christian, like any other Christian, is required to
be in this world, but not of it. We are to be in this world
as healers, as listeners, and as servants.
Madeleine L’Engle (Walking on Water)
Every day we encounter and interact with music through various
media. And in every song, a message is presented for the listener to either take hold of or reject. Music is constantly shaping your beliefs and
the beliefs of those around you. Musicals have the unique opportunity
to present a message not only through this music, but also through the
dialogue and the characters. As Christians, we must sift through these
messages to seek and identify truth.
Hairspray is no exception to this rule. It presents several messages
regarding important truths. Tracy makes the argument for social justice. She recognizes the evil of racism, and throughout the musical she
works to desegregate the Corny Collins Show. As Christians, we recognize an even deeper truth: this rejection of racism and discrimination
is consistent with a Biblical worldview. Micah 6:8 not only tells us that
we should seek and do justice, but that we do so because our God is
just.
Christians are called to be agents of redemption and to be "healers, listeners, and servants" of humanity through art. Whether we are
creating art or participating in it, we must recognize the value it possesses. Art is a powerful medium through which truth, beauty, and
goodness can be portrayed. God’s redemption for the world encapsulates these qualities, and, in portraying art like this, we are bringing
glimpses of God’s redemption into the conversation. In this specific
production, the cast has explored the idea of loving God and loving
others well by doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with
our God. I pray that we may be listeners to and seekers of truth, in
order that God may freely use us as healers and servants to humanity,
to bring redemption to the fallen world around us. And it is our prayer
that you, as an audience member and a participant in this art, will embrace this truth and enact it in your life.
Sarah Lyons, AACS Senior

Bratty, blonde, and "beautiful" girl, Amber, mocks Tracy with these
words during the dodgeball scene. Amber claims that Tracy is too big,
too fat to be on TV. Edna, older (and bigger) than Tracy, is too afraid
to even leave the confines of her house because of what people will
say about her weight. Tracy and Edna are afraid of themselves and
they "let weight restrict their fate." On the other hand, my character,
Miss Motormouth Maybelle, is BIG! BLONDE! and BEAUTIFUL!
and doesn’t let other people use that against her.
I have used my own personal journey to help create the Motormouth character. As a plus sized individual, everyday I am told that I
should be prettier, thinner, and fitter. It is hard to radiate confidence
in the face of these societal demands without God’s help. To do so,
we must speak truth against these untruths, rejecting the word's definitions of beauty and pursuing what God tells us. In Psalm 139:14,
David declares, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." We are made in
the image of God. Isn’t that crazy to think about? We were made to be
exactly who we were meant to be. Yes, we have our flaws. Yes, we have
those little quirks we wish we could rid of ourselves. But remember,
God made you that way for a reason. And remember that God made
EVERYONE the way they are for a reason.
I know it sounds "Corny," but when life gives you lemons, make
chicken and waffles because you got whatcha got. God made you who
you are:
For I know the plans I have for you . . . plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV)

KERR CENTER FOR THE ARTS
The Kerr Center for the Arts was established as the home for the
Fine Arts programs at Annapolis Area Christian School’s Upper
School campus. It is the area’s premiere performing arts center
for student, local, and international performers and speakers. The
Kerr Center was designed to host various performing arts events
and conferences and to expose audiences to various art forms.
The Center offers excellent acoustics, sleek aesthetics, a spacious
stage area and performance balcony, seating for more than 650
audience members, two large rehearsal spaces, and numerous
amenities for performing artists, orchestras, bands, dance studios,
conferences, and theatre groups. The Kerr Center for the Arts
also boasts a Visual Art Gallery, which displays original 2D, 3D,
and digital artwork created by AACS’s talented student-artists.
The Kerr Center for the Arts was named in memory of
Congressman and Mrs. Winfield Scott Kerr.
