    Comment on Facebook

    A campy send-up of 1960’s youth culture (and critical commentary on the racism of that era), Hairspray is the story of “pleasantly plump” Tracy Turnblad and her rise to stardom on the Corky Collins Dance Show. Filmmaker John Waters is admired by many (and reviled by some) for his filmic forays into the world of sexual deviancy, camp, counterculture, and gleeful bad taste. A man once referred to by William Burroughs as “The Pope of Trash,” Waters’ films have sparked controversy, but have also earned him a cult following among cineastes and popular audiences alike. Bryn Mawr Film Institute presents Hairspray in celebration of Waters' visit to Bryn Mawr College on March 26th.
