The auditions for the spring musical Hair were held Tuesday, January 24th by the Franklin Pierce Theater Department.

Students who were interested in auditioning signed up for a time slot for voice auditions which were followed by dance auditions, and a reading of the script.

According to Michael Brown, a student who auditioned for the musical, “the only thing you really had to be prepared for was the musical (voice) auditions.”

Brown also pointed out that though the auditions for Hair were similar to those of the musical Rent that was performed last spring, “the auditions for Bob Lawson’s musicals are totally different.”

He said that while the auditions for a Bob Lawson musical are also musically inclined, they also involve “sitting around a table thinking of different ideas; brainstorming.”

The production of Hair will be directed by Nancy Stone, musically directed by Walt Sayer, and stage managed by student, Sarah Asbury.

The opening performance will be Tuesday, April 10th, and will continue through Sunday April 15th at the Warehouse Theater.
