Keli Goff's GLORIOUS WORLD... Acquired By Concord Theatricals

Concord Theatricals has announced the acquisition of Keli Goff's The Glorious World of Crowns, Kinks and Curls for its Samuel French imprint. Goff is a writer/producer on the Sex And the City reboot And Just Like That, which begins airing on HBO Max this Thursday, December 9.

In the tradition of The Vagina Monologues and For Colored Girls..., The Glorious World of Crowns, Kinks and Curls is a collection of monologues and scenes featuring voices of Black women from around the globe recalling unforgettable moments in their lives in which their hair - and their complicated relationships with their hair - took center stage. From Afros to braids, weddings and funerals, falling in love to grieving a loss, these stories serve as a powerful reminder that for Black women in particular, hair is both deeply personal and political. These heartbreaking, heartwarming and hilarious stories will take audiences on an unparalleled journey into the world of Black womanhood.

The Glorious World of Crowns, Kinks and Curls premiered in a virtual production at Baltimore Center Stage on March 25, 2021, which was extended owing to overwhelming public demand. Directed by Bianca LaVerne Jones, the play featured Stori Ayers, Awa Sal Secka and Shayna Small.
