Stonewall National Museum - Wilton Manors Gallery (2157 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors) continues its John Waters Turns 70! - Film Festival at 7 pm with "Hairspray," which is a 1988 American romantic musical comedy film written and directed by John Waters, and starring Ricki Lake, Divine (in her final film role), Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono, Jerry Stiller, Leslie Ann Powers, Colleen Fitzpatrick, and Michael St. Gerard. Hairspray was a dramatic departure from Waters' earlier works, with a much broader intended audience. In fact, "Hairspray"'s PG is the mildest rating a Waters film has received; most of his previous films were rated X by the MPAA. Set in 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, the film revolves around self-proclaimed "pleasantly plump" teenager Tracy Turnblad as she pursues stardom as a dancer on a local TV show and rallies against racial segregation.
