Comedy/Drama
Runs Jan 14Feb 02, 2025

Straight from a twice-extended, Tony Award-nominated Broadway run, making its Regional Premiere

This comedic play offers a glimpse into the lives of a group of West African immigrant women who find community in a Harlem hair salon. Over the course of a sweltering summer day, love blossoms, dreams flourish, and secrets are revealed. Uncertainty simmers below the surface, and when it boils over, this tight-knit community is forced to confront what it means to be an outsider on the edge of the place they call home.

Written by Jocelyn Bioh
Directed by Whitney White

Jaja’s African Hair Braiding is a co‑production of Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Arena Stage, and Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
