In the course of producing and presenting two editions of "HAIR-In
Concert" here
in Seattle, I discovered just how relevant the message of HAIR is for
audiences
of the 1990's. Both concerts generated a lot of excitement and played to
sold-out houses of every age, color and sexual orientation. Both concerts
generated that "magic" spirit of HAIR, which is nothing less than love. We
proved that "harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding" are not
trite truisms of 30 years ago, but qualities that our hearts and souls yearn
for, never more than now. Our casts were primarily performers in their late
teens and twenties, who were born long after the last Human Be-In and long
after
the civil rights movement and Vietnam had faded from the headlines. Because
these young people were able to tap the power of HAIR, because they "got
it" and
were transformed by it, is reason enough to continue producing and promoting
HAIR in every format. Kudos to you and your team on this 28th anniversary.
Yours in Peace,
