Douglas Lyons' DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR to be Presented at IAMA Theatre Company
Performances will run from February 13-24, 2025.
IAMA Theatre Company will continue its 2024/25 season with a workshop production of the final play in the Douglas Lyons comedic trilogy, Don’t Touch My Hair. Lyons created “The Deep Breath Trilogy: New Plays for Black Women” cycle, with Don’t Touch My Hair that completes the series.
The trilogy launched with the family play Chicken & Biscuits on Broadway, followed by the romantic comedy Table 17. A piece about friendship, Don’t Touch My Hair follows lifelong best friends Eemani and Jade as they decompress over a good blunt, not knowing the weed is laced with something else. As the duo spiral into a hilarious hallucination, they are able to confront the oppressors of the past dead-on. Velani Dibba, who recently served as associate director on The Geffen Playhouse’s Waiting For Godot, will direct this new work.
Performances will run from February 13-24, 2025. Shows take place at 8pm, Thursdays-Mondays (no performance Monday, Feb. 17).
