Heritage, Her-i-tage, and Hair-i-tage
by Adrienne Dawes
Synopsis
As Rebekah, a multiracial teenager, confronts herself in the mirror, the Nap Patrol storms in to prevent her from cutting off her hair.
Armed with beauty supplies and armfuls of Ebony magazines, the Nap Patrol Officers are determined to teach Rebekah to “love her beautiful Black heritage,” but on their own terms and within their own definition of what it is to “be Black.”
A poignant satire of racial politics, this play explores the rigid notions of beauty, race, and heritage within our society.
