Hello Tribe,
 
Here's our chance for a small Southern California Be-In. There's a new Hair
tribe in 
the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles that could use our love and support! A
super 
review is pasted below for you which includes information on reserving
tickets.
 
On Saturday August 14th the Associate Producer is arranging a "Hair Party"
night. 
There will be a reserved section for Hair Alumni and depending on how many
people 
reserve, there will be some sort of discount. For more information, call
1-323-667-
0955 and say you want to reserve tickets for the 8/14/04 evening
performance as part 
of the "Hair Party."
 
I will be out of town until August 11th but if you have any questions in
the meantime, 
please email Raymond Donahey the Associate Producer of the production at; 
tilvenelf at yahoo.com. 

 
Peace, Love and Blessings ~ Jonathon
 
 
HAIR
  With no end in sight to the U.S. conflict in Iraq, James Rado and Gerome
Ragni's 
1967 anti-war, anti-establishment rock musical resonates loudly once again.
In large 
part, that's due to the first-rate songs, with catchy melodies by Galt
MacDermot and 
playful/pensive lyrics by Rado and Ragni. The script, marginally updated by
Rado, is 
a time capsule of those radically exciting times when American youth was
first 
exposed to psychedelic drugs, acid rock, Eastern religion, sexual freedom
and 
alternative lifestyles. Ragni and Rado's hairy tribe hang out in a park in
Greenwich 
Village staging love-ins and taking drugs that George Berger (a magnetic
Jonathan 
Zenz) dispenses from his pouch. While the others burn their draft cards at
a be-in, 
restless dreamer Claude (Ren? Guerrero) vacillates over whether or not to
show up 
for service, but longs for something more than the life of a dropout.
Director Peter 
Finlayson captures both the comedy and tragedy of Claude's dilemma in a
solid
 production brimming with strong singers, notably Sarah Marina Ali and Ana
Ortiz. 
The cast mostly looks and dresses the part, however some of the men's wigs, 
including a couple of mullets, don't fit the era. Actor-choreographer
Atticus Batacan 
makes the most of the cramped space in fluid dance numbers involving the
entire 20-
member cast. Knightsbridge Theater, 1944 Riverside Dr., Silver Lake; Sat.,
8 p.m.; 
Sun., 3 p.m.; thru Sept. 18. (323) 667-0955. Written 08/05/2004 (Miriam
Jacobson)
