Playwright/poet Inua Ellams’ internationally acclaimed production
Barber Shop Chronicles makes its New York and BAM debut in
Next Wave 2019. Following two sold out runs at the National Theatre in London, a
successful run at London’s Roundhouse, and a world tour, the sold-out sensation explores the diversity of Black male identity via the intimate community of the barber shop, where men across the African diaspora have gathered for generations to discuss the world and their lives. Filled with passion, humor, and honesty, the
celebrated work is inspired by Ellams’ own experiences as an immigrant.

Thursday, December 5 performance features Open Captioning by c2. For more information and access to specific seating locations, contact BAM ticket services at info@BAM.org or 718.636.4100.
