Purple Crayon Players’ 16th Annual PLAYground Festival: The Golden Loc by Prentiss Matthews III

April 20 @ 2:00 pm

Saturday 04/20 2 p.m.
The Golden Loc by Prentiss Matthews III

After getting bullied by kids at school for her locs, Zia is taken on a journey by the magical Aziza Fairies, who uproot the seed of anti-Blackness before it sprouts and teach Zia self-love and empowerment. This play is a celebration of Black women, Black girls, and Black beauty that imagines a world where we never get told our Blackness is “too much”. Put simply, this play is #blackgirlmagic!
