We need your help. We are $200 short to cover our deposit to the
publisher. but until the show, whenver that will be, inconjuction with
theme...We all have our memories of that era and time, but those are
in us. There are 58,272 lives that don't have the
memories we have because they never came back. In
1964, HAiR was written by James Rado,
Gerome Ragni, with music by Galt MacDermot
that tells also of a different, but an anguish nonetheless; one of
love. We just wanted you safe at home in our embrace.
These words...
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and
save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they
can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not
have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and
keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war
insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."

additional $13000 to cover production costs. From myself, our current
