ABOUT THE SHOW
“Brilliant! A powerful tale about joy, dreams, community, and sisterhood.” - Entertainment Weekly
It’s a hot summer day in 2019, and in Harlem, "JAJA'S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING" salon is open for business, even though its eponymous 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.
