About the event

The Trouble with My Hair: A solo performance by Ada Cheng
Reading of Ada Cheng’s new solo Queer Asian play, The Trouble with My Hair.

About this Event

Join us for a reading of Ada Cheng’s new solo play, The Trouble with My Hair, an intimate exploration of gender and sexual identity through her evolving relationship with her stylist and her hair.

The reading will be followed by a conversation between Ada Cheng and Anna-Rose Ii-Epstein, co-founder of Nothing Without a Company, to delve into the play’s themes, Ada’s creative process, and the broader landscape of queer women’s storytelling in theatre.
