The Hairdresser…your therapy session or mine? features Lauri Fraser, who combines her experience as a hairdresser with storytelling in a unique performance. As she improvises a haircut, Lauri engages in conversation with her guest client, blurring the lines between therapy and hairdressing. Under the direction of Jane Morris, the show promises to reveal deeper reflections as the audience sees more than just the haircut in the mirror.
