VCDS is proud to close its 2009-2010 season with “Hair: the American Tribal Love Rock Musical”, directed by Jackie McClelland, with musical direction by Tara Litvack, and choreography by Mariana Gurgis.

Hair tells the story of a tribe of young adults caught in the countercultural zeitgeist of 1968, as they muse about love, politics, drugs, sex, and the Vietnam war. Claude, their leader, toes the line between friendship and romance with his roommates, Berger and Sheila, while coming to terms with his draft notice. He struggles with the desire to join his friends in the anti-war rebellion, ultimately plagued by indecision. Set against the colourful backdrop of New York in the 1960s, Hair explores contemporary issues with humour and irony through the powerful medium of rock, pop, and soul.

 50% of proceeds from this event will be donated to Youth Without Shelter, a Toronto-based emergency residence and referral service serving youth aged 16-24 (http://www.yws.on.ca/).
