Hair

Pittsburgh in the Round: Love: a universal only rivaled by war. Both are intertwined at the heart of the tribal musical Hair amidst the political counterculture movement of the 1960s. Told through an ensemble focused assortment of rock songs, Hair follows a new and budding collective of America’s youth. Through protests and explorations into sexuality and drug use, the commune of hippies come to terms and fight back against established institutions of racial inequality, homophobia, and the troubling actions of our forefathers throughout the history of our country, all against the backdrop of the Vietnam War.
