Sister, Braid My Hair By Sarahjeen François

The SheLA Summer Theater Festival presents Sister, Braid My Hair by Sarahjeen François!

A peek into the life behind a quintessentially Black work of art: Oak and her three sisters, Olei, Yeva, and Soraya– live out their days as figures in a tableaux. They pass their time practicing the traditions of their Real-World predecessors while fantasizing about what exists beyond the frame. Enticed by the allure of reality, the three youngest siblings throw caution to the wind and escape the safety of their frame, but they soon discover that their exploits will force them to face life-changing dangers. For these sisters, the Real-World ain’t as pretty as their picture.

DIGITAL PERFORMANCE: Video premieres July 22 at 7pm PST; remains live until July 29 at 11:59pm.
