Theatre 55 will recruit and cast actors aged 55+ for the production of HAIR. We will consider ourselves successful if we can fill half of the 21 roles with people aged 55+. We will survey artist participants and ask them to provide us with their age.
As stated above, our audience consisted of 1,402 audience members, and an additional 30 volunteer ushers. In addition, we had 26 actors, three musicians, eight directors, designers, and stage crew members who all experienced this activity. In addition, our audience survey showed that over 70% of the audience were seniors, aged 65+, and from both urban and suburban regions of the Twin Cities metro area.
