I Love My Hair The Play

I Love My Hair The Play Created & Directed by Chaunesti Webb Theirs is a story of love and envy, silence and joy.

Genevieve and Moni have grown up playing double-dutch together, chasing fireflies on grandma’s front porch, and sharing the pain of the hot comb. Worlds collide with age and the search for identity as they attempt to make sense of the world through the complicated relationship they have with their hair. Follow these two cousins and the family of women who love them, as they come of age together in

the South, a South, too small to contain their curiosities. Sassy, lyrical and nostalgic, I LOVE MY HAIR integrates interview text, poetry, original music, movement and video, to explore family, community, race, class, politics and identity. March 8-17, 2012

Looking for more great Triangle-area theater? Our friend and colleague, Mike Wiley, is starring in a solo play that brings to life the 1970 murder of Henry "Dickie" Marrow in Oxford, NC. Blood Done Sign My Name - Presented by Theatre Raleigh Opening May 28th is a well-crafted piece that parallels the contemporary case of Trayvon Martin. Mike is one of the most skilled solo performers and storytellers we know. If you're in the area do what you can to support local artists and local history. The show runs through June 8, at Theatre Raleigh.

Thank you for all that you've taught us.  Rest in Power Sister Maya.
