It’s barely been six months since Roland Emmerich released Stonewall, his much-maligned passion project about a pretty country boy who flees to New York at just the right cultural moment, falling in with a racially diverse crowd of weirdos and then changing history. Anyway, in 1979 Czech-born director Milos Forman told a roughly similar story in the film version of Hair, a full decade after the stage musical became a Broadway sensation. Hippies, drugs, class conflict, bi-curiosity, and the familiar strains of “Let The Sunshine In,” and choreography by Twyla Tharp, all at 1pm at the Westerly Public Library.
