Hairspray at the Tilles Center
Friday and Saturday, show times at 2pm and 8pm
Tilles Center, CW Post Campus, Long Island University

You don't have to trek all the way to Broadway to enjoy great theater. The Tilles Center is a great spot to check out serious theater and this great show. There is plenty of parking, and you don't have to walk far once you've parked; plus tickets are a fraction of the cost of seeing the Broadway version. To buy tickets, or for more information, just check out their website.
