Event: Hair

The musical Hair was an intense performance even though it was performed decades after it's original opening. I found that the connections made by performers to the situation today in Iraq was anything but subtle. Although, I am planning on teaching Elementary Education, I believe that the idea of this musical is important. When you feel like something is not right, you need to stand up and let your voice be heard. Students need to be themselves, this play showed the audience that it is not a bad thing to be who you are, and stand up for what you believe in.
