Casting Call: 'Hair'

The audition schedule for "Hair" has been changed. The new schedule is as follows.

Auditions for "Hair" will be held at Kelsey Theater from 6 to 10:30 p.m. Jan. 29, from 6 to 10 p.m. Jan. 31, and from noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 1. Callbacks will be held during auditions. All callbacks will be recorded. Dance auditions will be held in the middle of each audition time period. Auditionees must be at least 18 years old.

"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.
