Vincent DeGeorge, Director
All art making is inherently political. Some art making is explicitly so. What you are about to see on this stage is the practice of radical individualism coming together to form radical community. This show, originally written and performed in 1968, is being brought to life by our 2025 bodies and minds. It is at this intersection where the learning is happening for all of us — the actors, the creative team, the designers, the technicians and now… you.
Susan Reuter Moser, Choreographer and Intimacy Director
Since the beginning of our process, I have felt the power of a shared vision from everyone lucky enough to work on CCM HAIR 2025. Working with a director who understands that everyone is invited to the creative table is a gift. Vincent DeGeorge and I discussed that HAIR needed a different artistic process, and he supported my time with the cast by offering foundational sessions in contact improv, intimacy training, modern dance and exploring action mechanics. We ALL did not want to “set the work” on their bodies and hearts. We wanted it to be a process where they had ownership of the work. In addition to the physical process, Vince created weekly meetings that involved research, open conversations with the student directors, cast, stage management, musician Steve Goers and faculty. A key part of this process was giving the students time with historical dramaturge Jenny Doctor and cultural dramaturge Torie Wiggins. These meetings are the foundation and an integral part of the learning process. Congratulations to every single beautiful human who worked, researched, coached, designed, managed, danced, sang, played and shaped this extraordinary piece of art. I am grateful to work in a space that celebrates the arts and the human condition with so much care, respect and love.
Jenny Doctor, Dramaturge
At times of social turbulence and change, works of musical theatre often serve as a way to communicate ideas of social unrest and protest. For example, in 1841 at a time of great Italian unrest, the young composer Guiseppe Verdi and librettist Temistocle Solera created the opera Nabucco based on a biblical plot about the Jews enslaved and oppressed by the Assyrians. It became enormously popular as an indirect expression of Italian nationalism, the people singing of their yearning for freedom from governance by the Austrian Empire. In 1968, at a time of great political and social unrest in the United States, actors Gerome Ragni and James Rado created a new kind of musical theatre work, almost like a rock opera. In HAIR, they communicated ideas of counterculture using many different musical styles and stage effects to communicate ideas of counterculture, examining the younger generation’s responses to the Vietnam War and the draft, civil rights, mind-altering drugs, sexual freedom, various forms of protest from rejecting parental expectations to dropping out to political activism, astrology and space exploration and, of course, exploring the social discourse of hairstyles. Perhaps surprisingly, given its premise of causing discomfort, this direct expression of the counterculture became enormously popular on Broadway and eventually on film. Perhaps more surprisingly, over 50 years later, this rock musical founded on discomfort continues to have significant relevance.

In a new short film created by CCM's Production Master Class, viewers can watch as a team of students put their education into action during one of Cincinnati's most popular events.

Held Oct. 17-20, 2024, BLINK transformed 30+ city blocks from Over-the-Rhine through Northern Kentucky and drew an estimated crowd of over 2 million people to the Greater Cincinnati region.
