Musical</span></i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> follows a young group of
hippies fighting the establishment, dodging the drafts, getting high, living
and loving in New York City. It’s 1967: the Vietnam War raging, and the Age of
Aquarius is dawning. Claude, his best friend Berger, their roommate Sheila, and
their Tribe of friends struggle to balance the demands of the harsh and violent
world with their dream for a more beautiful and peaceful world. When Claude
receives his draft notice, he must decide whether to join his friends in
resisting the draft or bow to the pressures of society and his conservative
parents, thereby sacrificing his ideals and, possibly, his life. <i>Hair</i> was
a sensation when it premiered in 1967, as it brought the counterculture
movement into the theatre and the national spotlight. The issues the show
brings up -- alienation, civil disobedience, youthful defiance -- continue to
timelessly resonate today.</span></p>
