Casting Call: 'Hair'

Auditions will be held at Kelsey Theater for "Hair" Jan. 3-5. They will run from 7 to 10 p.m. Jan. 23, from 1-6 p.m. Jan. 24, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. January 25. Callbacks will be at 7 p.m. Jan. 29. Dance auditions will be held in the middle of each audition time period.

Hair tells the story of the "tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War. Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends struggle to balance their young lives, loves and the sexual revolution with their rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the draft as his friends have done, or to succumb to the pressures of his parents and conservative America to serve in Vietnam, compromising his pacifistic principles and risking his life.

Auditionees must prepare one song and one monologue, and wear clothes comfortable for dancing in. They can sign up for an audition time on the door of CM122 starting at noon Jan. 22. For the dance audition, choreography will be taught to be performed in a small group.

Rehearsals will be from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from February 3-April 25, with more rehearsals during tech week.  There may also be pickup dance rehearsals. Performances will be at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays from April 25 to May 4.

Auditions will be held in CM122. For more information, contact personj@mccc.edu.
