It was rejected by countless Broadway producers as “too controversial,” but in 1968, Hair—the American Tribal Love Rock Musical—entered the theatrical pantheon as the show that captured the zeitgeist of the 1960s like no other. Hair tells the story of the “tribe,” a group of politically active, long-haired hippies of the “Age of Aquarius” living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War.
The Chester Theatre Group’s own interpretation of the hippie-generation classic, set in an abandoned church, features an ensemble cast comprised largely of young newcomers (plus a few CTG veterans. Note: The production will NOT include any nudity.
Chester Theatre Group theater is a charming, intimate, 100-seat, in-the-round venue that makes for a unique and memorable theatergoing experience for all.
