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.

Jump-Start Performance Co. re-erects the 8-foot cube and fills it with eight 8-
minute performances that feature a square-shaped cornucopia of artists, styles and
themes.
Cabaret du Jump (named by late company member Sterling Houston) is a decades-long
Jump-Start tradition. Originally the cabaret was a means for company members to
experiment with performance ideas at artistic retreats, which often led to the
development of full-length productions. Twelve years ago, Jump-Start decided to invite
community artists and audiences to join the company for a Cabaret du Jump presented
on an 8’ x 8’ stage. An open architectural cube now serves as the 8’ X 8’ X 8’ playing
area.
Artists for this year’s 8 X 8 include Jules Vaquera, Anthony Garcia, Irene Chavez, Tyler
Cozart, Amalia Ortiz, Paul Harford, La Familia Bernal, Catie Carlisle, Kimberlyn
Montford, y más, más, más!

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.
