The Age of Aquarius has come to Missouri State! Several ’70s-related events are in progress for the event series, The ’70s Experience: Always Being Now, including our musical “Hair.”

Tickets can be purchased online or at University box office locations.

Musical lets the sunshine of social change in

Directed by Rick Dines, the production captures the hippie counterculture ethos of the 1960s and reflects the kaleidoscope of social change movements, including civil rights, peace, black power women’s liberation and more.

Synopsis

In this musical, Claude falls in with a tribe of young political activists and free spirits living in New York City in the midst of the Vietnam War. The group explores free love and consciousness-expanding drugs, but soon Claude is summoned by the local draft board for military service in Vietnam. Ultimately, he must decide whether to submit to the expectations of his conservative parents and society — thus sacrificing his pacifist values and possibly his life — or burn his draft card in unity with the tribe.
