Hair! at The Manship Theatre
Hair! is a classic Broadway show that is anything but traditional. First shown in the late 1960's, the play, billed as an "American tribal love-rock musical," made history by bringing rock 'n' roll to the theatrical stage. Often at the center of legal and public controversy, Hair! presents a commune of young hippies struggling to define a sense of identity against a backdrop of war, drugs, and sexuality.

October 15-17 @ Manship Theatre

On Friday, October 15 there will be a meet and great reception for VIP ticket holders with catering by The Hilton.
