We are really proud to announce that we will be having a number of audience talkback sessions both before and after performances of HAiR at Theatre on San Pedro Square.
Michael Butler
Opening weekend, there will be two opportunities to participate in a talkback with Michael Butler, the producer of the Broadway production of HAiR (and many of the other first-run regional productions) as well as the 1979 movie with Treat Williams. Other members of first-run HAiR tribes may join in these talkbacks.
July 13, 8:00 PM (Preview) after the performance
July 15, 2:00 PM (Matinee) after the performance
Walter Michael Harris and Jonathon Johnson
On the third weekend (July 27-29), two members of first-run HAiR tribes will join us for audience talkbacks. Walter Michael Harris was in the original production of HAiR on Broadway, singing the beautiful What A Piece Of Work Is Man with Ronnie Dyson in the show and on the original cast album. Jonathon Johnson, who later performed with The New Christy Minstrels, and also wrote the book Good HAiR Days about his experiences with the show, was in the Seattle, Chicago, Miami and Mercury Tour tribes of HAiR playing Woof. He concluded with 6 months in the Broadway cast, playing Claude in the closing Broadway performance.
July 27, 8:00 PM (Walter Michael Harris only) after the performance
July 28, 8:30 PM (Walter Michael Harris and Jonathon Johnson) after the performance
July 29, 1:30 PM (Walter Michael Harris and Jonathon Johnson) before the performance
We will be adding additional talkback sessions as we confirm with former tribe members and other participants of the wonderful world that encompasses those who have been involved with this remarkable show.

Hi Jon, don't we have a July 28th 8:30 start
Oops. Sorry, Sammy, you are CORRECT. The July 28th start is not at 8:00 PM, but have been moved to 8:30 PM because of the performance the tribe will be giving that afternoon at the Monterey Summer of Love Festival. I corrected it in the body of the post too. Thanks for the observation!

I'm having a fundraiser in Santa Cruz on July 4 for our AIDS Project. It's a men only party. Would you please consider singing a number or two from HAIR? The party will draw about 300+ gay men. Contact me if you want more details. Thanks, Curt Keyer.
Ps. I'm really excited about the show you and your tribe are putting together! Can't wait to see it!
