ArtYard Playwright Fellow TyLie Shider’s newest play explores the transformative, often unsung, power of salons and the intimate relationship between hairdressers and their clientele. Join us for a free staged play reading of Shoptalk, a series of one-acts written by Shider followed by a discussion with the playwright. 

Shoptalk comically explores themes of grief and the cathartic relationship between a cosmetologist and their clientele. The staged readings will be directed by Daniel Boisrond, a New York-based actor, producer, and founder of 35 creatives, and produced by Deonté Griffin Quick, ArtYard’s theatre curator and a nationally recognized, award-winning arts administrator.

Shider is a playwright, poet, and journalist who was born and raised in New Jersey and lives in Minneapolis. He was the inaugural playwright-in-residence at ArtYard in 2022, is a two-time recipient of the Jerome Fellowship at the Playwrights’ Center, and an I Am Soul playwright-in-residence at the National Black Theatre.
