THE STORY:

 A groundbreaking musical tapestry that brought some of the most defining musical hits to the American stage. With a backdrop of the vibrant and volatile 60s, HAIR remains as poignant in its protest message as ever. An anthemic celebration of community, identity, politics, and peace: it is now and forever will be the original tribal love-rock musical.

 

CASTING: 

Adults ages 18-up and young adults ages 15-up. (Those auditioning who are between the ages of 15-18 will need to have a signed consent form by parent or guardian if cast.) Roles that call for a specific ethnicity will be open for consideration to actors of other ethnicities. Actors should conceivably play the age ranges listed. Regarding character descriptions, the characters in this show are on the binary and written with he/him or she/her pronouns as listed in the following descriptions. In keeping with our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Mission Statement,  CTG welcomes artists of all ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, economic groups, religions, age, sex, gender, and physical abilities. We ask all gender non-conforming, gender-queer, transgender and non-binary actors to audition for the roles they most identify with. Race and/or ethnicity has been listed when specific to the character but we are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. The show contains adult content and language. There will be no nudity in this production but all performers should be open with their physicality and comfortable with intimacy.
