HAIR Runs April 24-27

HAIR
UC College-Conservatory of Music
April 24-27
Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Vincent DeGeorge
Music directed by Steve Goers

HAIR celebrates the ‘60s counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show wows audiences with songs like “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” “I Got Life” and “Let The Sunshine In.” Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, HAIR remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world. Content advisory: This production includes profanity, sexual themes, alcohol and drug use, and themes of violence, racism and war.

In his quiet, humble, seaside town, Charlie, a lonely boy with big dreams, meets washed up sailor Doggy who tells him of an ancient myth: The Song at the Edge of the World. No one has ever been brave enough to complete the journey North and with sheer determination and help from Doggy’s first mate (a stuffed dog named Ben), the two unlikely friends set off on their quest. Our heroes are met with many trials along the way in this tale of courage, friendship, and the answer to their ultimate question: what makes a good story? With a sweeping Irish-folk/rock inspired score by Dayton natives Philip Drennen and Skyler McNeely, Charlie and Doggy is sure to entertain and win your heart.

Free, reservations required here.
