The Sachem North Drama Club presents the musical comedy Hairspray.
The Sachem High School North Drama Club performed three sold out showings last week of the musical comedy Hairspray, presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

Eliot, for three well-attended performances which ran from Thursday, March 22 through Saturday, March 24.
