DIANE PAULIS grew up feeling bad she had missed the 1960s. By age 10, she knew all the songs in Hair by heart, including “Sodomy.” Having never seen the show, she had an active fantasy life about what Hair must have been like when it was first created. Breaking down the wall between performer and spectator, which is at the heart of Hair, has been a huge inspiration for her work in the theatre: The Donkey Show (Jordan Roth Productions); Kiss Me, Kate (Glimmerglass); Lost Highway (ENO and Young Vic, London); Another Country (Riverside Church); Turandot: Rumble for the Ring (Bay Street Theatre); The Golden Mickeys (Disney Creative Entertainment); Best of Both Worlds (Music-Theatre Group and the Women’s Project); The Karaoke Show (Jordan Roth Productions); the Obie-winning Eli’s Comin’ and Brutal Imagination (Vineyard Theatre); the Pulitzer Prize finalist Running Man and Swimming With Watermelons (MTG and Vineyard). Opera credits: Monteverdi’s Orfeo (BAM), Don Giovanni, Le nozze di Figaro, Così fan Tutte, The Turn of the Screw, L’incoronazione di Poppea and Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria (Chicago Opera Theater). Artistic Director of the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, MA. Endless love to the Tribe, the band, the entire Hair creative team and the eternal sunshine of Katharine, Natalie and Randy.
