Jocelyn Bioh's Tony Award-winning comedy Jaja's African Hair Braiding receives its Canadian premiere in a co-production from Soulpepper Theatre, Obsidian Theatre, and Nightwood Theatre. Set inside a bustling Harlem hair-braiding salon on a sweltering July day, the play follows five women building new lives far from home, where wit, ambition, migration, and community collide. Directed by Obsidian Artistic Director Mumbi Tindyebwa Otu, the production features Tony Ofori, Warona Setshwaelo, and Sophia Walker. Hilarious and tender in equal measure, the play explores how everyday gathering places hold a city's deepest stories.
