MICA students, faculty, and staff will perform the musical that celebrates the heyday of the 1960s hippie movement, in BBOX, the performance space of MICA's new Gateway building, 1601 W. Mount Royal Ave. The performances coincide with the Broadway revival of the iconic show, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2008. HAIR is directed by Peter Shipley and produced, designed, and performed by a “tribe” of more than 60 MICA students, faculty, and staff—talented visual artists, singers, musicians, set designers, costume designers, and performance artists. Audiences will experience the full transformation of MICA’s new BBOX performance space into a colorful, joyous, uninhibited space, where the “tribe” will put a vivid art-school spin on the musical’s 1960s sensibility.
