Eemani and Jade light up to unwind, but their blunt is laced with more than weed. A wild hallucination gives them superpowers to confront the past in a hilarious, eye-opening journey. This electrifying play celebrates Black womanhood and self-discovery.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Moments before the world premiere of “Don’t Touch My Hair” at the Unicorn Theatre, playwright Douglas Lyons sits relaxed, thoughtful and unmistakably energized. The new play, opening May 8, 2026, marks the latest chapter in what he calls the “Deep Breath Trilogy,” a body of work dedicated to centering Black women not only in struggle, but in joy.
It is not often that Kansas City audiences get the chance to see the “World Premiere” engagement of a new comedy from an award-winning Broadway performer and playwright. This month Unicorn Theatre presents “Don’t Touch My Hair,” by Douglas Lyons.
