MEET THE CAST 

Treashana Baker: Dynamite Treashana is from Little Rock, AK. She loves music and singing and is very 

involved in the Choir and Praise Team at Living Waters Kingdom Church. Aside from music, Treashana enjoys 

cooking, eating, traveling, dancing, shopping and most importantly spending time with family and friends. She 

is very excited to be in Hairspray because she gets to share the stage with her church members whom she 

loves very much. This is her very first show and she's having the time of her life! 

Stephen Banks: Stooie This is Stephen’s first production at TCR. Prior musical experience includes Jesus 

Christ, Superstar, Guys and Dolls, Secret Garden, Urinetown, and Big River. When Stephen isn’t performing in 

a musical he sings a cappella in a band named “Sunday Afternoon”. The Cedar Rapids-based band travels the 

Midwest performing at fairs, festivals, and competitions. He thanks his family and friends for their love and 

support. Most of all, he thanks his mother for always being there for him. He hopes they enjoy the show! 

Mark Baumann: Wilbur Turnblad This is Mark Baumann’s first appearance on the TCR stage, but he has 

played the Barton theater organ before for TCR productions. Mark sells promotional products, trophies and 

laser work for American Specialties and is a local Director Consultant for Business Network International. He 

also is an adjunct instructor in music for Kirkwood Community College, Principal Organist at St. Paul’s United 

Methodist Church and Saturday Organist at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, both in Cedar Rapids. He is 

motivated to perform due to the “timeless” support of his wife Marcia, their three daughters, Maria, Meghann 

and Meredith and a cast of friends. 

Karl Becker: Corny Collins Hairspray is Karl Becker’s first time onstage. Acting has been a lifelong ambition 

of Karl's, and since he has recently taken the plunge to be a self-employed iPhone app developer, he decided 

it was also time to explore his acting ability. His performance is in honor of his mother, Linda, who helped him 

understand the importance of living the life you want, and his father, Gaylynn, who is a role model for honest, 

selfless hard work and perseverance. 

Clayton Besong: Gilbert Clayton Besong has been around Cedar Rapids for most of his life. His 

theatrical/musical experience has been limited to being a violinist with the orchestra pit for productions and has 

inched closer to the theater "big stage" by being part of a stage crew for a Playtime Poppy production - both 

occurring during his tenure at Washington High School. His prodigious appetite for music has always been 

satisfied as far back as he can remember by being a member of orchestras and a wide variety of choirs. 

Clayton has a B.A. in Medical Informatics with a minor in Music Performance from Knox College, and is 

currently a Systems Analyst at Mercy Medical Center. 

Rachel Brandt: Lou Ann This is Rachel’s first appearance on the TCR stage since she was a member of the 

children’s chorus. She loves to sing and dance and has recently been seen in Kennedy High School’s Fame. 

Her senior year this fall will be filled with show choir and the varsity dance team at Kennedy. She hopes you 

enjoy the show! 

Jay Burken: Fender Jay is back at TCR as the resident ginger and honorary Black woman. He is thrilled to 

be a part of this incredibly talented cast and he thanks the entire directing team for casting him in this show. 

Jay really hopes you enjoy Hairspray as much as he has enjoyed rehearsing it! He asks you to please forgive 

the white people for pretending to sing with the unbelievable gospel talent you are about to see. Special 

shout-out to his friends who have always believed in him and encouraged him to follow his heart! 

Cameron Byrd: Duane Cameron has been a part of many TCR shows, and has loved every moment of each 

one. First “Tom Collins” in Rent in 2010, he has also been in Guys and Dolls, A Christmas Carol, and 

Wedding Singer. Cameron has also been in other community productions, such as Rocky Horrow Show, 

Children of Eden, Jekeyll & Hyde, and Big River. “I am blessed to be a part of such an amazing cast! You 

Can’t Stop the Beat!”

Hairspray, Aaron will be taking a temporary hiatus from the TCR stage to return to school at the

FROM THE DIRECTOR 

”Hairspray is a 

complicated show.” 

I know…you’re thinking “what’s 


Alicia Strong: Dynamite This is Alicia’s third show at 

TCR, most recently having been in Rent two summers 

ago. A singer all her life, Alicia’s favorite style is gospel, 

but she sings a little bit of everything. 

so complicated about a bunch of 

teenagers in the 60s singing and 

dancing?” But that’s the beauty of this 

show. It’s upbeat and accessible and funny, but it’s also about a 

tenuous time in history, when we were on the cusp of everything 

changing. In 1988, John Waters created a film called Hairspray, 

the original Hairspray. It’s not a musical, but it is the beginning 

of the joyful underdog spirit of the musical, which premiered on 

Broadway in 2002, and the 2007 movie, starring John Travolta as 

Edna. John Waters was the guy who grew up in 1960s Baltimore, 

dreaming of and eventually dancing on the local Buddy Deane 

Show (the real Corny Collins Show on which Waters based his 

film). 

So we’re talking about a play about a chubby teenage 

girl who desperately wants to be on the Corny Collins Show but 

probably won’t because she’s chubby. But it’s also a play about a 

middle-aged woman who gave up her dreams to get married and 

raise a child. And it’s a play about how hateful people can be to 

each other people when they’re afraid of our differences. And it’s 

a play about black kids in Baltimore who get one day a week to 

dance on The Corny Collins Show, without the white kids, in an 

effort to give those kids a fair shake. Hairspray is a show about 

and all the pain that went with that effort the year before President Kennedy was assassinated, the year preceding the Medgar Evers murder, a year prior to 

Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the year before a Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama was bombed, killing four little girls. This play is 

set in the moment before everything in this country went crazy. 

Now, jump to 2012 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Theatre Cedar Rapids has decided to do a play about integration where it matters whether you’re Black or 

White or Asian or Hispanic. We’ve decided to do a play which requires half a Black cast in a city where the Black population is 5.6%, at a theatre where 

audiences and volunteers are traditionally and predominantly White. So when we auditioned, I was nervous about whether we would be able to pull this off. 

With 175 auditioners, nearly 1/3 of them were Black or Mixed Race. That was huge for us, and frankly, huge for this city, I think. Because here we are doing a 

bright and bubbly musical about integration in Baltimore in 1962 and our city, though integrated, isn’t really. I think it’s getting better. 

But when it came time for everyone to gather for auditions, the Black kids sat with the Black kids, and the White kids sat with the White kids. And at 

our first read-through, the White kids gravitated to the kids who looked like them, and the Black kids gravitated to the kids who looked like them. I love this 

show. I love that it presents us with a challenging time in our history through humor and heart. That, to me, is the genius of John Waters’ story and the 

show Hairspray. It never clobbers you with message. In fact, it cleverly disguises its message in silliness. But it’s there, and because we’re open to the 

laughter and the joy, it gets in. And hopefully, we leave the theatre smiling and feeling good, and that’s the context of the message. So we’re perfectly happy 

to take it with us and think about it. And maybe, eventually, we even do something about it. 

It’s getting better, I think, but we’re not there yet. The cast and directing team have already started a dialogue that is open and heartfelt and useful. 

I’m hoping that by the end of this run, this cast and crew gets to know each other a little better and starts to understand each other. And then they go out 

into the universe and share what they’ve learned about themselves and each other. I’m hoping the same for audiences, too. 

-LESLIE 

Derrick VanDerMillen: Sketch Derrick is thrilled to be 

among some of the "nicest kids in town" and man his 

"wiener stand." Special thanks to the dynamic duo of 

Leslie and Janelle for casting him in yet another of their 

rocking shows as well as Mike and LD for helping him 

accomplish the "long-striding pony." As always, much love 

to his family: Mom, Dad, and Liv. Love you guys! 

Deandrea Leigh Watkins: Motormouth Maybelle 

Deandrea Leigh Watkins is a New Orleans native, 

Department of Chemistry doctoral candidate at UI, and 

brand new business owner. She's elated about performing 

at Theater Cedar Rapids for the first time. She dedicates 

her performance to Mrs. Leola Williams Daugntain, Mrs. 

Rebecca Houston Watkins, Ms. Nellie Davis Rudolph,

Camps & Classes 

at TCR 

TCR’s popular summer education programs include classes for children in kindergarten through high school. 

Our education programs are designed to be age-appropriate. Younger students learn to hone their imagination 

and creativity through play activities, arts, and crafts. Older students will explore theories and methodologies of 

performance, as well as the technical aspects of theatre. No two camps will be exactly the same, and students 

are welcome to participate more than once. All camps will include a showcase during the last day! 

ADDITIONAL SESSIONS BEGIN JULY 9, JULY 16, & JULY 30! 

Kindergarten Theatre 

What a better way to enjoy the summer than to head to camp for the first time! Kindergartners will be introduced to the 

theatre in the best way possible – through playing and pretend. This camp will focus on engaging the imagination as the first 

step to learning about theatre. 

1st-2nd Grade Theatre 

Theatre increases imagination, boosts confidence, and improves creative problem solving. Your kids will use acting, 

movement, and improvisation to learn the ins and outs of performing, as well as learning the backstage aspects of theatre. 

3rd-5th Grade Theatre 

Master the essential techniques of theatre – onstage and behind the scenes. Through improvisation, acting, and scene work, 

as well as an opportunity to learn about the technical aspects of theatre, theatre camp will give kids the confidence they need 

to make a splash at their next audition or performance - confidence they will carry with them throughout the school year and 

their lifetime. 

3rd-5th Grade Musical Theatre 

Are musicals your thing? If you can’t get enough of singing show tunes, then this camp is for you. You’ll hone your singing, 

dancing, and acting skills while working on pieces from famous musicals. 

Acting for Audition: 6th-12th grades 

Have you always wanted to audition, but aren’t sure what to expect? Want more practice for auditions? This camp will focus 

on acting for auditions and provide auditioning practice. 

Shakespeare: 9th-12th grades

Welcome to our 

78th Season at 

Theatre Cedar Rapids 

Welcome to Theatre Cedar Rapids’ 2011-12 Season – our biggest, most 

ambitious season ever. Because we’re so excited about all of our new and 

improved spaces, we’ve decided to schedule an 11-show season plus an 

11-original-show, two-weekend Festival. 

Of course some of you might be thinking, “Are you people crazy?” And the 

answer probably varies depending on which of us you’re talking about. But it 

seemed like the perfect time to continue the growth that we, and our community 

neighbors and partners, are generating. 

This season, TCR is flanked by progress – from the new Cedar Rapids 

Convention Center on one end of 3rd Street to the re-opening of the 

magnificently restored CSPS building on the other end. This is an exciting time 

for all of us, and we hope that our energy and determination are a reflection of 

all that is exciting and good about the progress this community is making. 

We’re so glad you could join us for this show, and we hope to see you again 

over the next several months -- auditioning, ushering, taking a class, building a 

set, or seeing another show. It’s because of your support that we’re celebrating 

such a big and diverse season. We are lucky to be in a community like Cedar 

Rapids that just keeps growing and getting better. 

Leslie Charipar, Artistic Director 

Casey Prince, Executive Director

A new meaning for 

“Green Room” 

When Theatre Cedar Rapids needed a partner to design and renovate the electrical systems in 

the Iowa Theater Building it chose Paulson Electric. Colorful LED lighting in the Linge Lounge, 

as well as occupancy sensors and lighting control panels make the lighting highly efficient, 

including automatic shut off when illumination isn’t needed. 

Paulson Electric’s partnership with TCR reduces energy use and operating costs. 

Now, just the performances are high energy.
