Pretty as a Penny Productions’ Hairspray is in its final weekend at the Lawrenceville Arts Center. The production has been running since early October and closes Saturday, October 24. Friday’s showtime is listed at 8 p.m., with Saturday performances at 2 and 8 p.m.
Hairspray combines a high-energy musical score with a story about teenage ambition, dance and integration in 1960s Baltimore. It is a more substantial family entertainment choice than another seasonal pop-up, and the final weekend makes it a decision for now rather than something to bookmark indefinitely.
Check current ticket availability, age suitability and the drive to Lawrenceville before choosing a performance. If the family wants a live show this weekend, Friday night or Saturday afternoon are the practical windows.
What to do: Check Hairspray tickets for Friday 8 p.m. or Saturday 2 or 8 p.m. before the local run ends.
