audition notice - HAIR - Desert Stages Theatre, May 17


From our friends at Desert Stages:

This is the age of Aquarius! Join us in auditioning for our upcoming summer Main Stage production of HAIR!

Famous for songs like Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In, this enduring spectacle explores the themes of the hippie movement through original folk and psychedelic rock music. Hair is the story of the young artists and musicians protesting Vietnam, fighting for free love, and finding an escape from it all in one hell of a good time!

Directed by: Sam Wilkes
