The Lessons of a 17 year old American Man

The most defining moment in my life was when I was in the play HAIR. HAIR was created by James Rado and Gerome Ragni in the late 1960’s, two out-of-work actors who, according to Radio, “were aware of the traditional Broadway format, but we wanted to create something new, something different, something that translated to the stage the wonderful excitement we felt in the streets.” This “excitement” was that of the long-haired, peace-loving, freewheeling hippies of New York’s East Village.( © 1995-2004 Tracy Harris White Last Modified: November 23, 1999 )
I was introduced to the play by many of my class mates. They told me about a play that would be a gas to be in. they didn’t really tell me much about it but they did say that I would fit right in considering my hair was about down to my shoulders and flowed down my back. So on mothers day I showed up at the Dunes Summer Theater and tried out for the play. I still didn’t have any idea of what I was getting into. I filled out my bio sheet for them and one of the questions was “do you have a problem with nudity?”. A brief background is necessary about this.
I had acted and taken part in the Dunes productions for the past 5 years, playing outrageous roles in great and fun plays. In 6 degrees of separation I was a gay male prostitute and wore a Speedo and tube sox’s, in the play La Cage Aux Falls, I played a dominatrix with high heals and all that jazz. Needless to say I had a great time with all my friends. Also being back stage in Cabaret, many times in high heals just for fun. All this at the age of 14-16. My father didn’t have a problem with the “kinky” parts mostly because he was right there on stage with me or was affiliated with the director and knew I was in safe hands. So naturally when the director read my bio and got to the question of nudity it was a given that it was ok.
During the audition I sort of got a feel for what the play was about but still had some questions about the nudity question. A soon to be friend informed me just before the end of auditions that there was a naked seen in the play which had caused some controversy and had helped make the play famous. I was a little un easy finding this out. But it was something I was pretty sure I was going to be ok with. I just figured that I would deal with that problem once I reached that point.
A few weeks later I got a call from the director, a friend I had acted with in “La Cage”, and he told me that I had the part of Margaret Mead. I said great and he told me that I had a brief cameo and that there would be nudity involved in my part. I soon informed him that I was still 17 but would be 18 in a couple of months. He told me that that would be a problem and they may need a parental consent form. We decided to deal with that further down the road.
Over the next Month and a half I met over 20 new people, and also some of my past acting buddies. Most of us were high school seniors graduating or collage students. During the beginning things were great. We all got along, and we all had fun working really late into the night, sometimes until 3:00 in the morning. We became family, sharing a “luv” if you will for one another. We kept this luv going all though rehearsals and sometimes even spent the night at the theater partying and talking. We all wanted to be around one another all the time. Before practice we would all sit in a circle and share how we felt about our life, or share or thoughts about each other. It was really cool to be with a bunch of friends who really cared about each other. There wasn’t really any hanky panky, and that was probably a good thing. But we all really bonded.
We all learned what it was like to have a society based on truth and love. It was a little creepy but was a place I could be myself. However there came a time when we had to address the issue of nudity. So we picked a night and decided we would all get naked. Some people didn’t want to so we got into our circle and spoke out about how we felt. There were about three people who didn’t want to do it because of family or moral issues and they decided that they should leave while we did this. So, the director turned the stage lights down, put some music on and we all got up and began to walk around. We were told that when the time felt right we should take our cloths off. All of a sudden, one by one, there were naked people walking all around me, and I just followed suite.
The hardest part was getting my cloths off. It was scary, I was worried about people judging me. But once my cloths were off we all agreed that they should stay off. It was really liberating. So we walked around the theater together as a tribe then we hung out just talking. And all this time no one jugged anyone. We were all on one level.
From then on we were even closer. We didn’t just take our clothes off whenever we felt like it, but we were defiantly closer. The whole day and night before opening night we were up decorating the theater to display a fun hippy-like atmosphere. We hung banners we panted, panted the set and burned incense to give it that calm feel. We were up from 10pm that night until the close of the play the next night.
For the first couple of weekends the crowd was a minimum, fifty to eighty people at the most. The reviews came in and they were great. We got comments about how together as a family we were on stage and how pleasant it was to watch the play. They said the nude scene was done with class and was not made a mockery of. Though one night we did have a problem with a few pictures being taken. my character was a hit. Thought I didn’t get naked during my part I still made it fun.
The last two weeks of our month long run was a hit! We were almost sold out. When the curtains opened and the crowd, mostly people back for a second or third viewing, roared. The theater was somewhat small for a community theater but those one hundred and fifty people including our backstage staff were filled with love for the proceeding two hours. And on the last night we tried to sit down on the stage, in our circle, and talk about how much we didn’t want it too end, but it took too long. We were half way through the circle and it was already 5 minutes past opening time. We normally went out into the audience to mingle and help get them nice and loose for the show but we didn’t have time. We all stood up and someone opened the curtain. We had a tribe saying, “Agape moon… FUCK YEAH!!!!” Well, one of our backstage hands and our close friend had yelled “Agape moon”, and the whole audience roared with us…“FUCK YEAH!!!”. And that’s when we knew that we had made a difference in people’s lives.
This play changed all of us for the better. I became a better person because somehow I had been taught that things can be right in the world. Now I try my hardest to help people, and not be greedy. On the last night, I was naked on stage with my family, and no one cared. But as many times as we put the play on for the audience, it was still more for the actors…. More for us.

when you want to be a exhibitionist and just let go.
