Hairspray is a vibrant and energetic musical set in the 1960s that follows Tracy Turnblad, a plucky teenager with big dreams and even bigger hair. Tracy’s passion for dancing leads her to audition for “The Corny Collins Show,” a popular local TV dance program. Despite societal pressures and her plus-sized figure, she wins a spot on the show, becoming an overnight sensation with her infectious optimism in “Good Morning Baltimore.” The musical addresses themes of acceptance, diversity, and social justice, all wrapped up in catchy tunes such as the show-stopping “You Can’t Stop the Beat” and the empowering “Welcome to the 60’s.” With its high-energy dance numbers and memorable songs, Hairspray is a feel-good musical with a meaningful message about fighting prejudice and championing inclusivity.

The 2025 Cinema Tuesdays series is from June 3 to September 2 at the Santikos Northwest theater. Join us at the show each week to experience amazing classic films on the big screen, benefitting TPR. Showtimes will be 7:30 each night, and reservations for all 14 films are available now.

Admission is with a suggested donation, and all proceeds benefit Texas Public Radio. Thank you for your support!

Emotions at Play with Pixar's Inside Out, the first interactive exhibit based on the award-winning Disney and Pixar film, helps visitors - young and old - understand the important role emotions, memory and imagination play in our everyday lives. Focusing on the five core emotions featured in the film - Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear - hands-on and digital experiences in the exhibit offer opportunities to explore some of the ways we express our emotions - and recognize emotions in others, too.

Slow down, look closely, and draw inspiration from the art on view. This new monthly program invites participants to spend the lunch hour sketching a single artwork from the McNay’s collection.

Each session begins with a brief group discussion, followed by a series of quick gestural sketches and longer observational drawing. Inspired by the centuries-old tradition of learning by sketching masterworks, this program is open to teens and adults of all experience levels. Basic sketching materials provided.

Are you interested in finding out more about your family's history? Not sure where to start? Join us for an opportunity to learn some basic rules to get you started with genealogy research and resources available to you through the San Antonio Public Library.
