This 30 minute short is based on the famous short story by Ring Lardner about small town life and the secrets it holds. Set somewhere "between Chicago and New York City", Whitey, the local barber, regales to a newcomer the story of how the town bully finally got his comeuppance.

The Oasis Theatre Company Inc. received two grants to produce this adaptation of Ring Lardner's The Haircut. The grants from NYSCA and Sullivan County Heritage & Arts grant helped to bring this project to fruition. Production began at the end of August 2004 and was filmed in Sullivan County, New York. Accepted to the Digit Festival, future screenings will also include local area libraries and various domestic and international film festivals.
