cooking, eating, traveling, dancing, shopping and most importantly spending time with family and friends. She

is very excited to be in Hairspray because she gets to share the stage with her church members whom she

loves very much. This is her very first show and she's having the time of her life!

Stephen Banks: Stooie This is Stephen’s first production at TCR. Prior musical experience includes Jesus

Christ, Superstar, Guys and Dolls, Secret Garden, Urinetown, and Big River. When Stephen isn’t performing in

a musical he sings a cappella in a band named “Sunday Afternoon”. The Cedar Rapids-based band travels the

Midwest performing at fairs, festivals, and competitions. He thanks his family and friends for their love and

support. Most of all, he thanks his mother for always being there for him. He hopes they enjoy the show!

Mark Baumann: Wilbur Turnblad This is Mark Baumann’s first appearance on the TCR stage, but he has

played the Barton theater organ before for TCR productions. Mark sells promotional products, trophies and

laser work for American Specialties and is a local Director Consultant for Business Network International. He

also is an adjunct instructor in music for Kirkwood Community College, Principal Organist at St. Paul’s United

Methodist Church and Saturday Organist at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, both in Cedar Rapids. He is

motivated to perform due to the “timeless” support of his wife Marcia, their three daughters, Maria, Meghann

and Meredith and a cast of friends.

Karl Becker: Corny Collins Hairspray is Karl Becker’s first time onstage. Acting has been a lifelong ambition

of Karl's, and since he has recently taken the plunge to be a self-employed iPhone app developer, he decided

it was also time to explore his acting ability. His performance is in honor of his mother, Linda, who helped him

understand the importance of living the life you want, and his father, Gaylynn, who is a role model for honest,

selfless hard work and perseverance.

Clayton Besong: Gilbert Clayton Besong has been around Cedar Rapids for most of his life. His

theatrical/musical experience has been limited to being a violinist with the orchestra pit for productions and has

inched closer to the theater "big stage" by being part of a stage crew for a Playtime Poppy production - both

occurring during his tenure at Washington High School. His prodigious appetite for music has always been

satisfied as far back as he can remember by being a member of orchestras and a wide variety of choirs.

Clayton has a B.A. in Medical Informatics with a minor in Music Performance from Knox College, and is

currently a Systems Analyst at Mercy Medical Center.

Rachel Brandt: Lou Ann This is Rachel’s first appearance on the TCR stage since she was a member of the

children’s chorus. She loves to sing and dance and has recently been seen in Kennedy High School’s Fame.

Her senior year this fall will be filled with show choir and the varsity dance team at Kennedy. She hopes you

enjoy the show!

Jay Burken: Fender Jay is back at TCR as the resident ginger and honorary Black woman. He is thrilled to

be a part of this incredibly talented cast and he thanks the entire directing team for casting him in this show.

Jay really hopes you enjoy Hairspray as much as he has enjoyed rehearsing it! He asks you to please forgive

the white people for pretending to sing with the unbelievable gospel talent you are about to see. Special

shout-out to his friends who have always believed in him and encouraged him to follow his heart!

Cameron Byrd: Duane Cameron has been a part of many TCR shows, and has loved every moment of each

one. First “Tom Collins” in Rent in 2010, he has also been in Guys and Dolls, A Christmas Carol, and

Wedding Singer. Cameron has also been in other community productions, such as Rocky Horrow Show,

Children of Eden, Jekeyll & Hyde, and Big River. “I am blessed to be a part of such an amazing cast! You

Can’t Stop the Beat!”

MEET THE CAST (continued)

”Hairspray is a complicated show.”

I know…you’re thinking “what’s

so complicated about a bunch of

teenagers in the 60s singing and

dancing?” But that’s the beauty of this

show. It’s upbeat and accessible and funny, but it’s also about a

tenuous time in history, when we were on the cusp of everything

changing. In 1988, John Waters created a film called Hairspray,

the original Hairspray. It’s not a musical, but it is the beginning

of the joyful underdog spirit of the musical, which premiered on

Broadway in 2002, and the 2007 movie, starring John Travolta as

Edna. John Waters was the guy who grew up in 1960s Baltimore,

dreaming of and eventually dancing on the local Buddy Deane

Show (the real Corny Collins Show on which Waters based his

film).

So we’re talking about a play about a chubby teenage

girl who desperately wants to be on the Corny Collins Show but

probably won’t because she’s chubby. But it’s also a play about a

middle-aged woman who gave up her dreams to get married and

raise a child. And it’s a play about how hateful people can be to

each other people when they’re afraid of our differences. And it’s

a play about black kids in Baltimore who get one day a week to

dance on The Corny Collins Show, without the white kids, in an

effort to give those kids a fair shake. Hairspray is a show about

FROM THE DIRECTOR

and all the pain that went with that effort the year before President Kennedy was assassinated, the year preceding the Medgar Evers murder, a year prior to

Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the year before a Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama was bombed, killing four little girls. This play is

set in the moment before everything in this country went crazy.

Now, jump to 2012 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Theatre Cedar Rapids has decided to do a play about integration where it matters whether you’re Black or

White or Asian or Hispanic. We’ve decided to do a play which requires half a Black cast in a city where the Black population is 5.6%, at a theatre where

audiences and volunteers are traditionally and predominantly White. So when we auditioned, I was nervous about whether we would be able to pull this off.

With 175 auditioners, nearly 1/3 of them were Black or Mixed Race. That was huge for us, and frankly, huge for this city, I think. Because here we are doing a

bright and bubbly musical about integration in Baltimore in 1962 and our city, though integrated, isn’t really. I think it’s getting better.

But when it came time for everyone to gather for auditions, the Black kids sat with the Black kids, and the White kids sat with the White kids. And at

our first read-through, the White kids gravitated to the kids who looked like them, and the Black kids gravitated to the kids who looked like them. I love this

show. I love that it presents us with a challenging time in our history through humor and heart. That, to me, is the genius of John Waters’ story and the

show Hairspray. It never clobbers you with message. In fact, it cleverly disguises its message in silliness. But it’s there, and because we’re open to the

laughter and the joy, it gets in. And hopefully, we leave the theatre smiling and feeling good, and that’s the context of the message. So we’re perfectly happy

to take it with us and think about it. And maybe, eventually, we even do something about it.

It’s getting better, I think, but we’re not there yet. The cast and directing team have already started a dialogue that is open and heartfelt and useful.

I’m hoping that by the end of this run, this cast and crew gets to know each other a little better and starts to understand each other. And then they go out

into the universe and share what they’ve learned about themselves and each other. I’m hoping the same for audiences, too.

Welcome to our

78th Season at

Theatre Cedar Rapids

Welcome to Theatre Cedar Rapids’ 2011-12 Season – our biggest, mostambitious season ever. Because we’re so excited about all of our new andimproved spaces, we’ve decided to schedule an 11-show season plus an11-original-show, two-weekend Festival.

Of course some of you might be thinking, “Are you people crazy?” And theanswer probably varies depending on which of us you’re talking about. But itseemed like the perfect time to continue the growth that we, and our communityneighbors and partners, are generating.

This season, TCR is flanked by progress – from the new Cedar RapidsConvention Center on one end of 3rd Street to the re-opening of themagnificently restored CSPS building on the other end. This is an exciting timefor all of us, and we hope that our energy and determination are a reflection ofall that is exciting and good about the progress this community is making.

We’re so glad you could join us for this show, and we hope to see you againover the next several months -- auditioning, ushering, taking a class, building aset, or seeing another show. It’s because of your support that we’re celebratingsuch a big and diverse season. We are lucky to be in a community like CedarRapids that just keeps growing and getting better.

Leslie Charipar, Artistic Director

Now, just the performances are high energy.

When Theatre Cedar Rapids needed a partner to design and renovate the electrical systems in the Iowa Theater Building it chose Paulson Electric. Colorful LED lighting in the Linge Lounge, as well as occupancy sensors and lighting control panels make the lighting highly efficient, including automatic shut off when illumination isn’t needed.

Paulson Electric’s partnership with TCR reduces energy use and operating costs.

A new meaning for “Green Room”
