SHOW SUMMARY
HAIR tells the story of the "tribe", a group of politically active, 
long-haired hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" living a bohemian life in 
New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War. 
Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends 
struggle to balance their young lives, loves and the sexual revolution, 
with their rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and 
society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the draft as 
his friends have done, or to serve in Vietnam, compromising his pacifist 
principles and risking his life.

HAIR is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of 
Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com
