Sign up for our next Free Theater Night below to experience Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, produced by SpeakEasy Stage Company!
The Tony-nominated play takes place in Jaja’s African Hair Braiding salon in Harlem, and the owner is hours away from getting married. Presiding over the shop’s team of talented, high-spirited, West African designers is Jaja’s daughter Marie, a DREAMer who has set her sights on college. When shocking news disrupts the day’s festivities, the women must grapple with what it means to be outsiders in the place they call home.
This event will also be preceded by an optional “Backstage Mingle” where you can ask questions to producers, tech team, community engagement staff, etc., and learn about careers in theater. Light food and refreshments will be provided for the pre-show event.
