The producers of Hair have generously donated tickets to benefit The Actors Fund.
See the Producer’s Picks of HAIR, and support the vital programs and services of The Actors Fund.
With a score including such enduring musical numbers as "Let the Sunshine In," "Aquarius," "Hair" and "Good Morning Starshine," Hair depicts t...he the birth of a cultural movement in the 60's and 70's that changed America forever: the musical follows a group of hopeful, free-spirited young people who advocate a lifestyle of pacifism and free-love in a society riddled with intolerance and brutality during the Vietnam War. As they explore sexual identity, challenge racism, experiment with drugs and burn draft cards, the "tribe" in Hair creates an irresistible message of 'hope' that continues to resonate with audiences 40 years later.

Winner of three Tony Awards®, including Best Play, Best Leading Actress (Marcia Gay Harden), and Best Direction (Matthew Warchus)!
Two ostensibly civilized married couples meet up to sort out a play...ground fight. The son of one couple (Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis) has broken two of the teeth of the son of another (James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden). At first diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses and the rum flows, huge tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving more than just their liberal principles in tatters.

See the August 23 Special Performance of Jersey Boys, and support the vital programs and services of The Actors Fund.
“Too good to be true. The book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice is as tight and absorbing as an Arthur Miller play. The cast is just plain wonderful. The glitzy, sle...ight-of-hand staging by Des McAnuff doesn’t hurt either. With its vibrant choreography by Sergio Trujillo, imaginative settings by Klara Zieglerova, spot-on costumes by Jess Goldstein, and arena-style lighting by Howell Binkley, Jersey Boys is terrific – a show dynamically alive in music, while as a drama, it catches the very texture, almost the actual smell of its time.”
