2. Make love, not war.

If you’re not quite ready for a national audience, consider something a bit closer to home.

Audition for the 1960s musical “Hair” with Edmonds-based Ballyhoo Theatre, to be staged July 20 to July 29 at Edmonds Community College’s Black Box Theatre, 20310 68th Ave W, Lynnwood.

It follows a group of young Americans as they seek love and peace during the Vietnam era. The musical explores ideas that remain relevant today: identity, community, global responsibility and peace.

The casting call is for actors ages 15-20.

Call Shileah Corey at 425-345-0991 or visit www.ballyhootheatre.org.
