She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show” and is quickly transformed into a teen celebrity. She then successfully sets out to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, win the heart of the super handsome Link Larkin, and racially integrate the television show. Baltimore will never be the same! Ticket prices are $10 for adults; $8 for seniors/students (18 and under). Tickets can be purchased online or at the performance. Seating is general admission.
