April 15 – Good Hair

Chris Rocks daughter, Lola, was crying. “Daddy,” she asked, “How come I don’t have good hair?”

The bewildered comic has searched the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who put that question into his little girl’s head. The result is GOOD HAIR, an exposé of comic proportions that only Chris Rock could pull off.

GOOD HAIR takes n insightful and entertaining but serious look at how black hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships, and self-esteem of black people. Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, and Reverend Al Sharpton all candidly offer stories and observations, as Rock struggles to respond to his daughter’s question. He discovers that black hair is a big business that doesn’t always benefit the black community.

GOOD HAIR plays one show only, Thursday, April; 15, at the Empire Theatre Studio 10, 325 Prince Street, Sydney. It is the last movie in our Winter 2010 season. Thanks for your support. See you September 9.
