Hair at Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts

A group of young men and women take over a church while protesting their government's stand on foreign relations and the impact it is having on their lives. This situation could have been pulled from recent headlines covering the Occupy movement; it is instead the story of the Tribe from the American Tribal Love-Rock Musical: Hair.

In the late 1960s resisting government policy was resisting a war that many thought was unjust, and could represent life or death for many American citizens drafted into the conflict in Vietnam. The Randolph Academy and director Darcy Evans are taking on this politically charged musical. Time Magazine recently said "today Hair seems, if anything, more daring than ever." As a nation, a civilization, and a culture, we face many of the same dilemmas that the members of Hair's Tribe does. Issues of freedom, moral and ethical duty, identity, diversity, and freedom of expression.
