da Kink in My Hair at Horizon Theatre Atlanta
What a title?!! ‘da Kink in My Hair and Lord knows I have a lot of kinks in my 4b hair, but you know God gave it to me and I chose to love it anyway. Now where do most people, women and men, share their most juiciest of the juiciest? If you said the hair salon or the barber shop you are absolutely correct. This new play that has won 4 NAACP Awards is headed to the great, Horizon Theatre and yes again, I am looking forward to this one. It is bound to make you laugh and cry like one tends to do in the hair salon anyway:)
Here is a glimpse of what the play is about:
Novelette is more than just their stylist, she is their friend, their confessor and their absolver.  As tales of survival come bubbling forth, Novelette listens and heals hurt with love and support.   Successful career woman Sherrelle is the rock for family, friends and her employer to lean on, but what about her own needs?  Patsy lost her teenager to gun violence, but is now pregnant again and looking for a second chance. Beautiful TV star Sharmaine visiting home is the envy of the salon, but her adoring mother and friends can’t accept her love for another woman.  White, working class Suzy seeks reconciliation with her family and acceptance of her bi-racial child.  Dark-skinned Nia finds herself struggling to come to terms with the passing of her mother who always favored her light-skinned sister.  Young Stacey-Anne, newly arrived from Jamaica, is excited to have her own room and nice things, but misses her grandmother back home and has a dark secret to share.  And Miss Enid is the widowed grandmother who gets her groove back, giving a little sweet potato pie to her neighbor and getting some good lovin’ in return.
