Pure Life Theatre Company, in collaboration with the City of Raleigh and Seed Art Share, invites the community to enjoy a free, family-friendly Independence Day celebration featuring music, poetry, art, and community connection at Hair in Concert & Spoken Word.
Inspired by the enduring themes of peace, love, community, and social change found in the
groundbreaking musical Hair, this all-ages event brings together live music, spoken word,
children's activities, local artists, nonprofit organizations, and community partners for an
afternoon and evening of creativity, celebration, and engagement.
Beginning at 3:00 PM, families and community members can enjoy a variety of activities,
learn about art organizations, and enjoy performances in the park. Seed Art Share will
provide free, hands-on children's activities from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
The evening's featured performance begins at 6:30 PM with Hair in Concert. The event will
also feature spoken-word artists, featuring 2023 NC Poet Laureate Dasan Ahanu, along with
Ajani Kambon, Kamile Sabali, and Brenda Bailey. The final aspect of this performance will
include participatory dancing and singing as one community.
This event is presented in partnership with the Historic Sites Program Specialist, Billy
Rutherford, and the City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department.
