I went to Memphis State, now the Univ. of Memphis, in the mid-80s and they still talked about this production. I recall being told that Michael Jeter ("Evening Shade") and Larry Riley ("A Soldier's Story") were in this production, but not sure about that. By the way, the documentary producer went on to a long career with all three U.S. networks and won a Peabody for some later work. Finally, here's an obit on the theatre professor who mounted the production: http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/dec/19/kennedy-brought-hair-to-memphis/

Nice try to the original YouTube poster, but...that "part 3" isn't Memphis 1970 but more like Hollywood 1993...
