Comins' sublime voice is another asset; judging from his performance, it is hard to believe that he was battling a cold last weekend...
Catch the re-runs of the age of Aquarius, more commonly known as Hair, presented by the Dunster Drama Society. The love-rock tribal musical promises energetic performances, rousing musical numbers, and even some piquant social and political commentary. Yes, Virginia, there once was an anti-war movement led by politically committed students. At Dunster House...
