ABOUT HAIRSTORY
Hairstory: The Musical follows 10-year-old Jada, who wishes her natural hair could just be “normal” — less time-consuming, easier to manage, easier to ignore. When she is visited by the voices of her ancestors, she is guided by Braidelyn on a journey of discovery through time, culture, and hair traditions. Along the way, Jada learns how hair can hold history, identity, protection, resistance, and pride — and begins to see her own hair, and herself, without apology. Featuring a diverse ensemble of seven actors and an original score inspired by pop, Latin, gospel, Rastafarian, and global musical influences, Hairstory uses live performance, music, and projection to bring the stories held within hair traditions to life on stage. It is a coming-of-age story about self-acceptance, connection, and discovering the power in who you already are.
