Hall & Oates, Taylor Dayne and Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour will headline a series of free concerts this summer at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre. Kid Creole & the Coconuts has been tentatively slated for a fourth concert, and others may be added.

Proceeds, from voluntary donations and T-shirt sales, will benefit an international disaster relief organization called AmeriCares. The shows will be sponsored by Parliament cigarettes.

N’Dour will perform July 22 at 6 p.m.; Hall & Oates July 27 at 7:30 p.m., and Dayne has been scheduled for Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. The Kid Creole date, if finalized, will be Aug. 22. Admission will be first-come, first-served.

The series opened this week in New York and will also travel to San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia.

Once again, a touring production of “Hair” has been postponed at Anaheim’s Celebrity Theatre, but this time no new dates have been announced.

Four performances of the musical, to have been given July 21 and 22, are off because of changes in the company’s routing schedule, according to promotion director Rick Bloom. “I’m still hoping to reschedule it,” Bloom said, “but I don’t know when.”

“Hair” was first scheduled at the Celebrity Theatre in January; dates in March and June were also canceled.

Santa Ana’s Alternative Repertory Theatre has taken in roughly $3,100 from its second annual rummage sale--money which has helped put the troupe into good fiscal shape for next season, according to business manager David Palmer. ART will go into September with “no (financial) worries . . . as opposed to last year when we were up in the air about everything,” Palmer said. The theater has budgeted about $45,000 for the season, which will run through August, 1991. Palmer said the rummage sale money will be used primarily for promotion.
