View Upcoming EventsWe hope you’ll join us for the BIPOC Affinity Night: The People's Party for HAIR. We invite all who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), and their guests to "let the sunshine in" and attend a performance of this revolutionary rock musical that changed pop culture forever!
The evening's celebration includes a pre-show DJ set by Bryson Wallace (host of KMHD radio show First Light), who will be playing an all-vinyl musical tribute to Galt MacDermot, the original composer of HAIR, in the Main Lobby beginning at 6:30.
All people who self identify as BIPOC, and their guests, are specifically invited to attend. Though no one will be turned away, it is encouraged that folks outside of the BIPOC community join us on another night!
Thank you to our partners! Enjoy complimentary beverages provided by our generous Affinity Night partners, Multnomah Whiskey Library and Deschutes Brewery.
