This dazzling world premiere welcomes you into Jaja’s
bustling hair braiding salon in Harlem where every day, a lively and eclectic
group of West African immigrant hair braiders are creating masterpieces on the
heads of neighborhood women. During one sweltering summer day, love will
blossom, dreams will flourish and secrets will be revealed. The uncertainty of
their circumstances simmers below the surface of their lives and when it boils
over, it forces this tight-knit community to confront what it means to be an
outsider on the edge of the place they call home. This extraordinary new play
is by the award-winning Ghanaian-American playwright Jocelyn Bioh (School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play)
and will be directed by Obie winner Whitney White (Our Dear Dead Drug Lord).

Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys and Pulitzer Prize
finalist playwright Kristoffer Diaz bring their exhilarating
coming-of-age musical HELL’S KITCHEN to The Public this fall.
In a cramped apartment hanging off the side of Times Square, 17-year-old Ali is
desperate to get her piece of the New York dream. Ali’s mother is just as
determined to protect her daughter from the same mistakes she made. When Ali
falls for a talented young drummer, both mother and daughter must face hard
truths about race, defiance, and growing up. Ali feels trapped until the sound
of a neighbor playing piano opens the door to an unexpected friendship and a
radically different future.
Choreographed by Tony Award nominee Camille A. Brown and
directed by Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, HELL’S
KITCHEN is an unforgettable new show featuring both newly created
music and the soulful, iconic songs of New York’s own Alicia Keys.
