Nathan Hale High School, 10750 30th Ave. N.E.
May 17, 7:30pm - May 17, 9:00pm
"Hairspray" delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960?s Baltimore, where the 50?s are out — and change is in the air! Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show.” Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair? Adult $15 / Student & Senior $8 - Tickets available online at Brown Paper Tickets or at the door (cash or check only at the door). - Perfectly Outgrown Consignment Sale

Maple Leaf Reservoir Park
May 19, 8:30am - May 19, 12:00pm
“Maple Leaf here, we have a cyber attack by malicious hackers who have shut down the power grid. We have no power, no phones, no cell service.”
This Saturday expect to see white “pop-up” tents and 20-foot radio antennas appear at Maple Leaf Reservoir Park, just off 14th Avenue Northeast for a drill from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
It’s part of a citywide effort to prepare for emergencies – officials say that in a major event all residents should be prepared to be without city services for at least three days – and maybe two weeks. - Perfectly Outgrown Consignment Sale
