Originally Produced by the New York Shakespeare Festival Theatre
Join the tribe of the Age of Aquarius and celebrate the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory! In the first rock musical to hit the Great White Way, a group of hippie youth search for meaning amidst the Civil Rights movement, protests against the Vietnam War, drug experimentation and the sexual revolution — all set to the infectiously energetic rock beat of such songs as “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” “I Got Life,” and “Let The Sun Shine.” Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, this groundbreaking 1968 tribal love rock musical remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: HAIR IS INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY, AS IT CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND BRIEF/IMPLIED NUDITY. THIS PRODUCTION ALSO UTILIZES GUNSHOT AND EXPLOSION SOUND EFFECTS AND PULSATING LIGHTING EFFECTS.

By David Adjmi
How’s a queen to keep her head in the middle of a revolution? Marie Antoinette delights and inspires her French subjects with her three-foot tall wigs and extravagant haute couture. But times change and even the most fashionable queens go out of style. From the light and breezy banter at the palace to the surging chants of “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite!” in the streets, David Adjmi’s humorous and haunting contemporary take on the doomed young queen of France holds a mirror up to our contemporary society that might just be entertaining itself to death.

With the the help of Atticus, and her older brother Jem, Scout learns that “growing up” often means doing what is right, even when it comes at great cost, in Harper Lee’s American masterpiece.
