Stylized
Set in a West Indian hair salon in Toronto, da Kink in my hair gives voice to a group of women who tell us their unforgettable, moving, and often hilarious stories. Told in words, music, and dance—the stories explore the hardship, struggles, and joys of black women's lives.
Realistic
Four friends gather around a community centre about to be torn down, as they feel the need to say their goodbye one last time to the place they all called home for so long. While they are gathering they reminisce about what the community center means to them and the play becomes a much more urgent commentary about both the disintegration of Regent Park and the lives of the young men most affected by it.
