Hair on Broadway!

On Friday November 20, I went with my learning community to go see Hair on Broadway. The show takes place in the U.S. during the 1960’s, the same time the Vietnam War was taking place. Hair shows us how the counterculturalist  youth during this era were opposed to the Vietnam War. This generation of young teenagers dressed differently and were called hippies. We see throughout the show how the hippies joined together as one to protest against the war and against the ideas of their parents’ generation. One of the main characters Berger along with many others, burns his draft card while Claude does not. Claude ends up fighting in a war that he doesn’t believe in, as a result he gets killed. This show relates to Global-Community Awareness  because it’s about how these young group of teenagers unite to protest against something that they don’t agree with.
