Ackworth drama - Hairspray
Some reactions from the cast
‘Last term we performed the musical comedy Hairspray. The story explores prejudice against size and race in 1960s America. I played the role of Penny Pingleton, the main character’s best friend. Penny, a quirky, geeky, ‘in-her-own-little-world’ girl, brings with her the majority of the comedy in this play. Her oddball behaviour and her reactions to events in the story were a great success with the audience. I really enjoyed this production as it combined all of my passions: music, drama and dance. It was great to work with people to whom I wouldn’t ordinarily speak in school and I feel playing this role has been one of my biggest achievements.’
