JAJA'S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING
BY JOCELYN BIOH
DIRECTED BY WHITNEY WHITE
IN ASSOCIATION WITH MADISON WELLS LIVE & LACHANZE
A CO-PRODUCTION WITH ARENA STAGE AND CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER
WEST COAST PREMIERE
PEET'S THEATRE
Step into the vibrant world of Jaja's African Hair Braiding, a beloved Harlem hotspot where West African immigrant braiders work their magic on the locals' locks. Amidst the lively buzz of a scorching summer, love ignites, dreams soar, and secrets unravel. But beneath the surface lies a current of uncertainty, pushing this close-knit community to confront the challenges of being outsiders in their own neighborhood. From the pen of acclaimed Ghanaian American playwright Jocelyn Bioh (Goddess, School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play) and directed by Obie winner Whitney White, Jaja's African Hair Braiding is "a play that is equally affecting as it is hilarious," hails Entertainment Weekly.
