✨ Meet the artists.
✨ Experience the process.
✨ Get inspired to create.

Join us March 2–27, with free workshops and presentations on March 20 & 21—your chance to connect with the artists behind the work.

The big game’s coming, but wannabe Vice Principal Mr. Peter Prickle wants to cancel the most bodacious event of the year…homecoming! Everyone is like, so totally wiggin’ out! But we’ve got a sneaking suspicion someone’s not gonna take it anymore. If he bites the dust, we’ll need a real genius to figure out “Who’s Bad.”

Dress in your raddest 80s gear and jump into the mystery at your comfort level. Join Holly Bingbald, Farris Bugler, Mitchel Myers, Don Bender, and the Poison Fan Club as they figure out whodunit during Death by Hairspray! It’s gonna be, like, totally killer!
