Direct from a twice-extended run on Broadway, Berkeley Rep will next present the West Coast premiere of Jocelyn Bioh’s new comedy, JAJA’S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING. Step into the vibrant world of Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, a beloved Harlem hotspot where West African immigrant braiders work their magic on the locals' locks. Amidst the lively buzz of a scorching summer, love ignites, dreams soar, and secrets unravel. But beneath the surface lies a current of uncertainty, pushing this close-knit community to confront the challenges of being outsiders in their own neighborhood. From the pen of acclaimed Ghanaian American playwright Jocelyn Bioh (Goddess, School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play) and directed by Obie winner Whitney White, JAJA’S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING is “a play that is equally affecting as it is hilarious,” hails Entertainment Weekly. JAJA’S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING is a co-production with Arena Stage and Chicago Shakespeare Theater, in association with Madison Wells Live & LaChanze.
