Ready for a little humor in your life?  Jaja's African Hair Braiding is billed as "equally affecting as it is hilarious."   It was a Tony Nominee in 2024 for best play. We have secured discounted tickets for $30 for a Saturday matinee performance on the 17th of May at 2 pm, with a talkback following the performance.  We will be having lunch beforehand at one of the many restaurants near the theater in the South End.  Contact Jennifer Coplon jencoplon@gmail.com to register.

Here is a short description of the play.

It's a hot summer day in 2019, and in Harlem, Jaja's African Hair Braiding salon is open for business, even thought 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.
