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.

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.

Irrationally Speaking highlights two art forms—collage and assemblage—as artistic techniques and conceptual approaches. With the simple act of placing two or more distinct images or objects together (sometimes jarringly so) artists can create a complex whole to address a multiplicity of meanings. Combined wood fragments, cut-and-pasted paper, seamless digital and photo-based prints comprised of disparate pictures, bronze sculptures created from discarded shoes, and contrasting clothing articles put together —these are some of the ways that contemporary artists harness a myriad of materials and methods to craft the art in this presentation.

Irrationally Speaking will be on view 9.21.24 - 8.31.25

Entry to Ruby City is free and open to the public. Reservations are recommended but not required.
