‘Hair’ tells the story of Vietnam-era youths awkwardly but exuberantly
creating their own rite of passage through the confusion around them. Among
them are Claude and Berger; a pair of friends battling against Claude's
draft notice, and Sheila, who is in love with both of them, but her
politically-active lifestyle leaves her little time to act on her feelings.
Ultimately, Claude decides that the hippie life isn't for him and goes to
Vietnam. With themes of alienation and civil disobedience Hair illustrates
the '60s generation's search for meaning through various "be-ins,"
"love-ins" and protests.



Children aged 8-17 are welcome to audition. There is a non-refundable
audition fee of $50, and tuition is $400 if cast.
