Hello, gorgeous.

Where did you get that healthy glow?

We hear you believe in taking care of yourself inside and out. That you get heart and lung cancer screenings. And that you take advantage of the latest technology, like digital mammography.

During your pregnancy, you took childbirth and early parenting classes.

And when your baby was born, you had your very own team of nurses.

You even got rid of fibroid pain (with just the tiniest of scars) through uterine fibroid embolization (UFE).

We know your secret. And we’re sharing it so everyone can now say, “Hello, WellStar.”

We believe in life well-lived.

22,000 children die every day from preventable causes.

If you believe that number should be zero give.

Because of donors like you, UNICEF is able to provide children with lifesaving medicine; food; clean, safe water to drink; and help in emergencies. UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any humanitarian organization in the world. Still, 22,000 children die every day from preventable causes. With your help, that number could be zero. I believe in zero. Do you?

Something’s happening here, all over again

By Kathy Janich

W

hen Hair opened on Broadway in April 1968, America was a country at war with itself. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had just been assassinated. Bobby Kennedy would die within weeks.

College campuses rocked with anti-Vietnam War protests. Police and demonstrators engaged in bloody conflict during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. LBJ became a lame duck president; Richard Nixon un-retired from politics and won the White House.

Then came Hair, a story ripped from the headlines before anybody ever said “ripped from the headlines.” No one had seen anything like this loud and proud musical that began as a free concert and found its feet in, of all places, the hub of commercial theater. Hair was a

happening, a rapturous celebration of love, peace, sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll.

The radio throbbed with its songs “Aquarius,” “Easy to Be Hard,” “Good Morning Starshine” and “Let the Sun Shine In,” giving hit records to poprock-soul artists as diverse as Oliver, Atlanta’s Performing Arts Publication 9

is torn between loyalty to the Tribe and his parents’ expectations.

In the Broadway original, lyric and book writers Gerome Ragni and James Rado did double duty as actors, playing Berger and Claude, respectively. They essentially put their own lives onstage.

This time, the script was pulled from several versions written by Ragni, who died in 1991, and Rado, who’d been noodling around with various incarnations for decades. Rado also wrote new lines.

Burkhardt caught the Hair bus in 2007, soon after graduating from Baldwin Wallace College in Berea, Ohio. He was hired for a three-day Hair concert that took place in Central Park that fall. When the Tribe moved uptown to Broadway, Burkhardt did too, playing smaller roles and understudying the character of Berger. When Tony Award nominee Will Swenson moved on, Burkhardt moved up. Hair is his one and only professional credit.

Nina Simone, Three Dog Night and the Fifth Dimension. Hair didn’t have a cast, it had a “Tribe.” It was nothing like its Broadway neighbors — Zorba; Promises, Promises; or 1776, a musical about a whole different breed of patriot.

When Hair returned to Broadway two springs ago, some 40 years had rocketed by. Barack Obama occupied the big house on Pennsylvania Avenue, Americans were reeling in a recession, and the country was again at war.

“It’s a good thing for us that the show is still so resonant,” says Steel Burkhardt, who plays Berger, one of two characters that hold the Tribe’s center. “There are still unpopular wars, and people still have hope for the human race to live in peace.”

Hair, the self-described “American Tribal Love-Rock Musical,” follows a group of young people who advocate pacifism and free love in a 1960s society seen as intolerant and brutal. Berger is the ultimate free bird; his buddy Claude

revival Tribe in place, before hitting the road again.

And how does the Tribe want audiences to feel as they leave the theater?

“High,” says Burkhardt. “I want them to feel like they’re high. Like all the endorphins are released in your body.

Whether it’s a hopeful high, and you’re thinking about paying it forward, and bringing good energy to other people, or it’s a quiet high and you are thinking about what we can do to move forward as a culture.”

And the show continues its forward momentum. After it completes its national tour, it will play a limited engagement on Broadway from July 5 through Sept. 10.

What’s so important for these Tribe mates, he says, is that they make the show a living, breathing, topical work — not a history lesson. For that he credits Rado, who communed with the new generation of actors, giving them a sense of what life in the ’60s was really like.

“He lived Hair,” Burkholdt says of his mentor. “It’s from his experience.

Despite what you can look up and read and see, he was there … firsthand.”

Not that the musical, despite its material, is all serious business.

“It’s just a fun show: the energy, the music,” Burkhardt says. “We break that fourth wall and involve the audience.

We want an audience that’s going to be interacting with us, still being voyeurs, of course, but that wants to play when it’s time.” (So, when you’re invited onstage to dance, don’t be shy.)

The popularity of this approach is underscored by the fact that the national tour will transfer to Broadway from July 5 through Sept. 10, with the original

The Fox Theatre Rising Stars program is a musical theatre intensive and its 100 participants work toward achieving their dream to be the next big star while at the Fox.

Education and outreach The Fox Theatre gives back

T

fox theatre archives

he mission of the Fox Theatre is to preserve and share the theatre.

Excess revenues from annual operations are reinvested in the theatre’s ongoing preservation, restoration, and maintenance. Any additional sums are used for the Fox’s Education and Community Outreach programs and the Fox Theatre Institute. Since the Fox continues to be successful, it is in a position to live up to this promise to maintain the theatre, yet also give back to the community that saved it.

FOX THEATRE RISING STARS The theatre launched Fox Theatre Rising Stars: A Musical Theatre Intensive in 2010 with great success. This program is for students ages 13 to 17 who

have a strong desire to become a star on Broadway or in television or film.

Here the participants hone their skills as both individuals and as an ensemble.

Students participate in daily workshops and lectures led by professionals in the entertainment industry on acting, singing, dancing, and audition techniques.

CAMP BROADWAY In 2000, the Fox started Camp Broadway, a summer camp for kids aged 11 to 17 of diverse financial and ethnic backgrounds. All the instructors are Broadway performers from New York.

During the course of the weeklong camp, students work on creating their own musical, combining the storylines of two popular musicals and rewriting Atlanta’s Performing Arts Publication 33

At Camp Broadway (left), young performers have the chance to sharpen their skills with real Broadway performers. AileyCamp Atlanta emphasizes the importance of expressing oneself, being disciplines, achieving academic success, and making good life choices.

AILEYCAMP ATLANTA AileyCamp held its first summer camp in Atlanta in 2007. Unlike Fox Theatre Rising Stars and Camp Broadway, AileyCamp is not a performing arts camp. The curriculum was developed by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Foundation in New York and uses dance, creative writing, and art to teach children discipline, communication skills, and self-esteem. Underserved youth, ages 11 to 14, are recruited from local Boys & Girls Clubs and middle schools and are offered a full scholarship, which is underwritten by the Fox. ARTISTIC WORKSHOPS Throughout the year, the after-school and weekend Artistic Workshops work in tandem with touring Broadway performances at the Fox Theatre.

The Workshops focus on the shows’ historical and social themes to enhance the students’ appreciation of the arts and each group produces an original work 34 EncoreAtlantA.com

of art in the process. Past themes have included the Civil Rights Movement, World War II, The Civil War, the legal system, racial and sexual discrimination, the history of Broadway, conformity, and ethics.

DELTA INTERNATIONAL SERIES Each year, the Fox Theatre’s Delta International Series celebrates diversity both on stage and in the audience by bringing music, dance, and song from around the world. The Fox Theatre provides tickets to the performances to qualifying schools and civic groups. Preshow lectures and demonstrations are given prior to each show and are free for anyone who is attending that night’s performance. Previous experiences have included tango, ballet, flamenco, and folk dancing lessons, a karate demonstration, and various global musicians.

Information about this summer’s programs, Fox Theatre Rising Stars, Camp Broadway, and AileyCamp Atlanta is available on the Fox Theatre’s Outreach and Education page at www. foxtheatre.org.

etiquette 1. Arrive early. If you are late, you may be held out or reseated until an appropriate time for you to get to your assigned seat. People who arrive late disturb the performers on stage and audience members. It is best to arrive about 30 minutes early so that you have time to purchase concessions, find your seat, and read the program before the show starts.

2. Take care of personal needs (drinks of water or restroom) because you should not leave your seat until the intermission or until the performance ends.

3. Please sit in the seat you are assigned so you do not cause confusion for other audience members.

4. Please silence or turn off all electronic devices, including cell phones, beepers, and watch alarms.

You’ll be embarrassed if it goes off in the middle of a tense moment of the show and it will break the mood for everyone. We encourage you to share your experience at the Fox via social media, but please refrain from doing so or texting during performances; the glow from your device is distracting.

5. Most shows do not allow photography of any kind. Flash photography inside the theatre is never allowed as it is a distraction to those around you and a danger to the performers.

6. The overture is part of the performance. Please cease talking at this point.

7. The sound system for each show is provided by the touring production. Unfortunately, many variables exist that may occasionally hinder sound quality. Please let an usher know if you are having trouble hearing. Adjustments may be able to be made or an assisted listening device can be provided.

8. Dear Lovebirds, when you lean your heads together, you block the view of the people behind you. Please consider the people that will be seated behind you when choosing whether or not to wear a hat or what hair style you choose.

8. Please refrain from talking, humming, or singing along with the show, except when encouraged to do so by the artist or show.

9. Please wait for an appropriate moment to dig something out of your pocket or bag.

10. Go easy with the perfume and cologne, many people are highly allergic.

11. If you need assistance during the show, please go to your nearest volunteer usher. If additional assistance is needed the usher will get the appropriate person to further help you.

12. Yes, the parking lot gets busy and public transportation is tricky, but leaving while the show is in progress or before the actors have taken their final bows is discourteous. Wait until it is over and then exit with the rest of the audience.

13. Just be courteous and everyone will enjoy the show.

The Fox Theatre lives up to its promise to maintain the theatre and give back to the community that saved it. Here are some fun facts about the Fox’s Education & Community Outreach programs: Fox Theatre Rising Stars performed for several audiences last year, including the Midtown Festival for the Arts, the residents of Lenbrook Square, and the annual holiday event Larry, Carols & Mo on the Fox stage.

After attending Camp Broadway, one of the campers went on to join the cast of Disney’s The Lion King.

The Fox provides free pre-show demonstrations prior to each Delta International Series performance, such as a tango lesson or karate demonstration.

A past Camp Broadway instructor is in the touring production of Jersey Boys.

grow it It’s all about the hair

By Kristi Casey Sanders

I

n honor of this month’s performance of Hair: The American Tribal LoveRock Musical, Encore Atlanta spoke with stylists from local salons to find out the latest trends for cuts and color this season.

Najah Aziz, owner of Like the River Salon in Inman Park, says that the warm

54 EncoreAtlantA.com

weather is inspiring clients to make drastic changes. “A lot of people are coming in now wanting to go short.”

“What Not to Wear” stylist Nick Arojo, whose flagship Intrigue Salon & Spa is in Marietta, agrees. “Short, textured styles that take out weight and give freedom from blow-drying are fashionable right now, and we love this look.”

If you decide to cut it all off, Arojo suggests you look to the past for inspiration.

“For example, Twiggy’s original cropped bob, Eva Cedric’s cropped bowl, or Mia Farrow’s classic crop — three stunning, wearable and cool, short styles.”

Going short also lets women participate in one of the biggest hairstyling trends for spring and summer.

“Give me a head with … shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen hair …”

— “Hair” by James Rado and Gerome Ragni

Although red hair is still a hot trend, more and more people are going blond right now. And, Aziz says, they aren’t interested in being subtle. “We’re getting a lot of requests for platinum — real high highlights.”

Intrigue Salon’s owner, Jeff South, says that women going blond want to look like they’ve been at the beach for a week with all-over highlights. It’s a look that Holzberger describes as being “very loose, very light, not real structured.”

“...I want long, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty…”

Women also want to look as if they’ve been swimming in the ocean. “We’re 56 EncoreAtlantA.com

going to see lots of textures and big curls and waves this spring and summer,” Aziz says. South adds, “There’s a looser, tousled curl that’s really big right now. … bangs come down kind of wavy in the front, bringing back the looks of the 1920s and ’30s a little bit.”

The demand for curl means that perms are back in a big way. And — great news for people affected by Atlanta’s humidity — kinky and frizzy hair is what high fashion is celebrating this season. “Taking yarn, wrapping it around the hair, tying it up and letting it dry like that or wearing it big and frizzy, like brushed out natural curls, is what they’re showing on the runways,” South says.

The biggest trend for straight hair, South reports, is a retro bang with long, layered hair. “We’re doing strong bangs straight across ... to get that urban New York feeling. The bangs are hitting between the brows and eyelashes — they’re pretty long.”

Holzberger says the most-requested look right now is for Keira Knightly’s long bob, which grazes the collarbone.

“It’s very pretty, probably the prettiest hair has been in a long time.”

Van Michael Salon ©BABAK; Like the River Salon; Van Michael Salon ©BABAK

more natural,” observes Van Michael Creative Director Daniel Holzberger.

“Women [with] straighter hair are not using a curling iron or curling sets.

If they have natural curl, they’re not straightening or flat-ironing.”

“… There ain’t no words for the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my hair!”

One very current hair color trend, Arrojo says, is ombre: “color that takes hair from dark at the top to lighter toward the ends, with a stunning melting effect.” Because the root area is darker, it allows clients to stretch time between color appointments.

“It’s basically grown-out hair color,” Holzberger says. “You see it on celebrities like E! News host Guiliana Rancic, Drew Barrymore and Jessica Alba.”

Aziz predicts that hair colors will warm up as the temperature cools down.

“We’ll see darker hair — chocolate brown with caramel highlights and cinnamon,” she says.

Holzberger expects to see women rebelling against the pretty (but what he calls “boring”) hair they’ve been wearing and choosing fierce colors like dark reds this fall.

58 EncoreAtlantA.com

“ … She asks me why, I’m just a hairy guy …”

And let us not forget the men. What are they asking for? “Faux hawk/mohawk cuts that are tapered on the side,” Aziz says.

They are cleaning up a little bit, South adds, by going close-cropped. But they tend to leave an area, like the top or overear portion, a little shaggy.

And, Aziz says, men are getting more adventurous with hair color. “They’re lightening up as well. Some want to shave all their hair down and [get] red tones.”

“ … Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair!”

But no matter the trend, the most important thing is that you feel good about yourself afterwards. “As long as you leave smiling, that’s what we’re all about,” South says.

And keeping hair long may be good for the fall. “A lot of women [will be] doing chignon ponytails,” Aziz says.

“It’s like a messier pin-up, or a centered, low ponytail, that’s a little tousled.”

For those who have gone with long bobs and bangs, Holzberger has a special prediction. “Every woman cut a fringe when Heidi Klum was on the cover of Elle with bangs, and they’ve had them for five, six years,” he says.

“So in the fall, we’ll see a lot of women growing out their bangs and bringing their hair up in length, because it makes them easier to grow out.”
