March 14 - April 1
“Hair”

Everything about them was a statement. Their clothes, a rejection of materialism. Their drugs, a quest to get closer to God. Their long hair was their flag of freedom. From Aquarius and Let the Sun Shine In to the 60s anthem of Hair, your mind will be moved, your body exhilarated and your soul stimulated in this quest for peace, love and change. Rated R for adult language and content. Parental discretion is advised. There is a dimly lit 20-second scene with nudity that is non-sexual in nature.
