Every day is opening night.

New Jersey native Steel Burkhardt can currently be seen shaking his long, beautiful hair (which is real!) on stage every night at the St. James as Berger in the current “Summer of Love” run of the Tony Award-winning revival of HAIR. Steel has been with the Tribe since the show debuted in Central Park in 2007 and has been helping HAIR spread peace and love ever since. Find out what makes him tick when we put him on the couch!
