Our 2014 season is proving to be abounding with talent as we held auditions for our third production of the season, HAIR! Director Michael Newsome was inspired by the ability and passion of the Columbus performers who sang and danced on Saturday and Sunday at Stonewall Columbus vying for a spot in this summer's tribe. After some tough call backs and decisions, the production team has assembled the best hippie cast in Columbus.
HAIR is about a group of young people in New York City's East Village who band together as a tribe. They are a New York contingent of flower children who question authority and the society they are living in. They seek to find a new way. They yearn to change the world. They begin by recreating themselves. They hang out in self-made clouds of incense and grass. Unkempt, wild, free, and deep, they are unique, colorful, something genuinely original and beautiful...and so hip. They are on a trip of liberation. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius!
