UMaine's School of Performing Arts Presents Hair-The American Tribal Love Rock Musical

For release on Wednesday 17:

This up-and-coming weekend, February 19, 20, and 21, the University of Maine's School of Performing Arts is presenting the Broadway play, Hair-The American Tribal Love Rock Musical, directed by Marcia Douglas. The play was debuted last weekend and will show next weekend, as well.

Hair is presented on campus in Hauck Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are on sale for 12 dollars for the general public, and students get in free with their Mainecards.

Hair-The American Tribal Love Rock Musical is a Broadway play, and is written by Gerome Ragni and James Rado. The play ages in the year 1960s and shows the hardship and battles that the American hippies experienced, in fight for their beliefs of "make love not war."

The students of UMaine portray their talents of dancing, acting, and singing to spread the message of the 1960 American hippies. At this moment in time, with war developing throughout the world, everyone can be reminded of this simple concept of love not war.
