Hair Auditions
by Marc Howard 07 Mar '20

07 Mar '20

THEY'RE HERE! Auditions are Tomorrow and Monday! Slots still available so sign up today! Walk-ins are welcomed. For questions or further information, please contact the director at marc.c.howard(a)gmail.com " ..... be free, no guilt, be whatever you are, do whatever you want, just as long as you don't hurt anyone". Music by Galt McDermot, Book/Lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni Synopsis: Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical 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. Hair 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. Marc C. Howard, Director/Choreographer D.

We are inviting our local artists to participate. Please download the template and application here <https://www.shakerartscouncil.org/utility-box-design-competition-applicatio…>. All designs must be submitted electronically on the template provided. Designs and applications must be submitted to SHAC via email ( info(a)shakerartscouncil.org) no later than *Friday 1 May 2020.* Eligibility: Applicants must be 21 years or older and live or work in Shaker Heights or the Shaker Heights School District.

SHAC will work with the artists and associations in addressing this step. Design Criteria: • Black or very dark backgrounds are not permitted. • Words are not permitted in the designs at this time. • Art created in non-digital media must be digitized for submittal. • Final designs must be submitted as camera-ready, 600 dpi files.

Mack is an Iraqi War Veteran who suffers from PTSD. Elizabeth is a former doll hoarder without a single relative or friend. Lucky is an agoraphobic whose mother died from a heroin overdose. What happens when all three of these isolated people turn to Siri, the voice of their iPhones, for salvation? Is there insight behind Siri’s responses or is her intelligence truly artificial? “Hey Siri” tests the value of this pervasive technology when these three users start asking real questions.
