The award-winning Falcon's Eye Theatre closes its eleventh season with the American Tribal Love Rock Musical, HAIR. The Falcon's Eye celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory with Gerome Ragni, James Rado and Galt MacDermot's HAIR. To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show wows audiences with songs like "Aquarius," "Good Morning, Starshine," "Hair," "I Got Life," and "Let The Sun Shine." Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, HAIR remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world.

This two-part project is dedicated to women who have experienced hair loss. The goal of her film and book is to redefine beauty by promoting inner-beauty despite hair loss. 'I am incredibly grateful for this upcoming fundraising event,' said Cunningham. 'This event wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the generous support from Carolyn Phillips, who's a model and participant in this project. Everyone involved has graciously offered to volunteer their time, including all models, make-up artists, designers, photographers, volunteers, hostesses and a dedicated planning committee. I am truly moved by the support I've received.' Hosted by Atartus Jenkins and sponsored by The Umbrella Syndicate, the Bald, Beautiful, & Bold Benefit Fashion Show brings her project to life, giving bald women, men, and children the chance to strut the runway while in support of Cunningham's project. Celebrity model, Hope Chioma, is participating along with blogger, April Clark. In addition, guests include Erica Strong, Nora Bonds and Rue Medley. Everyone is eager to participate in this one-of-a-kind fashion show that will bring the new film to the community. The event takes place on Saturday, April 21, 2018, at Montgomery Park from 5-7 p.m. Tickets are only $25, VIP is $35 and children under 16 are free. Tickets can be purchased at www.baldbeautifulbold.eventbrite.com.
