SCHOOL OF
THEATRE AT FLORIDA STATE PRESENTS HAIR February
13-22, 2009 in the Fallon Theatre Tallahassee, FL
– The School of Theatre at Florida State presents Hair, book and
lyrics by James Rado & Gerome Ragni, music by Galt MacDermot.
Performances run February 13 through 22 at the Fallon Theatre. Hair is the original
American rock musical, telling the story of Claude, his best friend Berger,
their roommate Sheila, and their band of Hippies living the bohemian life in
New York City. The tribe is struggling to find balance in their lives
between the impulses of their lifestyle, including drugs and sexual revolution,
and their rebellion against the war in Vietnam and the conservatism of their
parents. The tribe has tuned in, turned on, and dropped out by burning
their draft cards and rejecting the conservative parts of society, but it is
Claude that is torn between this new way of life and honoring his commitment to
the draft. Full of singing, dancing, and audience interaction, Hair
celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2008, and returns to the School
of Theatre at Florida State for the first time in ten years. Join the
tribe and experience the wonders of Hair again!
The creative
team for Hair is led by Tom Ossowski, director, with scenic design by
Ariel Emmerson, costume design by Krissy Sneshkoff, lighting design by Richard
Chamblin, and sound design by Jon Shimon.
Hair runs February 13 through 22 at 8:00 PM, with matinee performances at 2:00 PM on February 15th and 22nd. All performances will be in the Fallon Theatre, located on the corner of Copeland and Call streets. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for senior citizens, and $15 for students.
