Upcoming Solo Shows

The Trouble with My Hair: Coloring, Cutting, and Coming into Who I Am, an intimate and transformative solo performance, examines Ada Cheng’s gender, sexual, and racial identities through her evolving relationship with her hair—and the stylists who helped shape it. With humor, vulnerability, and sharp cultural insight, Cheng reveals how something as seemingly simple as hair can carry the weight of family expectations, beauty standards, queerness, and personal agency. Blending theatrical storytelling with narrative art, The Trouble with My Hair invites audiences into a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey of self-discovery, self-love, healing, and transformation. This solo performance is developed with and directed by Jessica Lynn Johnson, an award-winning director and founder of Soaring Solo Studios, known for cultivating powerful, authentic solo performances.
