The Trouble with My Hair: Coloring, Cutting, and Coming into Who I Am
A Canada and Halifax Fringe premiere, The Trouble with My Hair examines gender, sexual, and racial identity through Chengs evolving relationship with her hairand the stylists who helped shape it. With humor, vulnerability, and sharp cultural insight, Cheng reveals how something as simple as hair can carry the weight of family expectations, beauty standards, queerness, and personal agency. Blending theatrical storytelling with narrative art, this performance invites audiences into a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey of self-discovery and self-love.

I loved the honesty that was portrayed and found it completely captivating. Having just recently lost a pet, I can definitely relate to everything that was said when the cat photos appeared. Many left the theatre with tears in their eyes, myself included.
