DIRECTORS NOTE AS IT APPEARS IN PROGRAMME:
For me it all began on Wednesday 4th September 1991 at approximately 8pm at the Universal Theatre. It was then that I was first introduced to "the beauty the splendour and the wonder of my�.." Hair. It was pretty much from that moment on I began my crusade in getting SHOESTRING to put on HAIR.
But, how was I going to convince a committee to let us do a production that contained people totally naked!?! A minor obstacle!! Besides, what a hell of a way for Shoestring to celebrate its 10th anniversary!
To see Shoestring put this wonderful piece of work on stage has literally been a dream come true, and I couldn't have had a better team behind me. From the daunting thought of auditions, it didn't take long at all for me to know that this was going to be one hell of a show. Never have I seen such a strong and talented cast pull together and work so hard. Please join in with me tonight and applaud their efforts. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Di Woodhouse and Jai Simeone whose creativity and genius, most of tonight's performance is in debt to. Mostly I would like to thank my assistant director Carly Reggars just for sticking with me all the way to Hurstbridge.
I would like to dedicate this season of HAIR to the late Timothy Leary.
Justin Smith.
