"Jaja's African Hair Braiding: A Celebration of Black Women's Sacred Space"

"Jaja's African Hair Braiding" by Jocelyn Bioh is a hilarious workplace comedy set in a Harlem hair braiding shop, showcasing the pluck and sisterhood of West African immigrants. The play, reminiscent of "Cheers" or "Steel Magnolias," follows the lives of five women working at the salon and explores themes of romance, dominance, and sacrifice. While the play's ending feels abrupt and unresolved, the first 80 minutes are filled with delightful moments and comedic brilliance, making it a must-see production.

"Rob Lowe and son team up for charming Netflix comedy 'Unstable'"

Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe star in the new Netflix comedy "Unstable," which follows a biotech entrepreneur and his son as they struggle to work together. Despite initial concerns that the show would be a Lowe family vanity project, "Unstable" is a sharply written workplace sitcom with great performances from both Lowes. John Owen Lowe proves himself to be a gifted young talent, while Rob Lowe's charisma is slightly less needy than in previous projects. The show is a delight and proof that sometimes the system works.
