The Alhambra Theatre in Jacksonville, Florida recently combined forces with the well known Charity, Locks of Love to stage the musical production \u2013 Hairspray.<\/p>\n
Locks of Love is a non profit making organisation that literally donates hair pieces to those who need them as result of hair loss<\/a>. The recipients are normally disadvantaged children suffering long term medical problems or are in need of chemotherapy for cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hairspray tells the story of teenager Tracy Turnblad and her best friend Penny Pingleton who audition for a show. However Amber Van Tussle and her mother plot to destroy Tracy.<\/p>\n Speaking with local reporters, the Alhambra\u2019 managing partner Craig Smith said: \u201cTying in with Locks of Love is a great fit because their entire mission is to help kids to be self-confident while they\u2019re fighting their illnesses. We hope the entire community, whether seeing the show or not, will come out to donate hair or just a small cash donation on the 13th of March\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cAnd we\u2019re grateful to Brumos for their support of what we\u2019re trying to accomplish and of their overall support of the Jacksonville Community.\u201d<\/p>\n While artificial wigs can help people suffering from alopecia, Locks of Love believe that using real human hair can make a big difference to people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Alhambra Theatre in Jacksonville, Florida recently combined forces with the well known Charity, Locks of Love to stage the musical production \u2013 Hairspray.
