We respectfully acknowledge that the College of Lake County is on the ancestral homelands of the Kickapoo, Peoria, Potawatomi and other native peoples. We recognize the longstanding significance of these lands for indigenous peoples past, present and future. Historical awareness of indigenous exclusion and erasure is critically important to preventing further atrocities. The College of Lake County pledges to acknowledge the grave injustices of the past and pledges to create awareness and advance education that invites truth.
Excellence.
Purpose.
Integrity.
Compassion.
Unity.
Inclusion.
These aren’t just words—they’re the heartbeat and the values of the College of Lake County. We’re dedicated to providing equitable, high-quality education, cultural enrichment and meaningful partnership building with the diverse communities we’re honored to serve. In the Communication Arts Division, we truly believe that the arts have the power to reflect the world around us, inspire change through the sharing of stories and experiences, and, especially, bring people together to do great things.
I’m so excited to welcome you to a new season filled with creativity, learning and connection. This year’s lineup is bursting with opportunities to experience music, theater, dance and visual arts that will uplift and inspire you. Visit the Wright Community Gallery for stunning art exhibits, or immerse yourself in our film and literary series.

You can't stop the beat in this big and bold musical about one girl's inspiring dream to dance. It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable Tracy Turnblad has only one desire -- to dance on the popular "Corny Collins Show." When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network ... all without denting her 'do!
Hairspray, winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance and deliriously tuneful songs.
Hairspray is presented through special arrangements with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are supplied by MTI, www.mtishows.com
