KELLY STRAYHORN THEATER ANNOUNCES OCTOBER SHOW

Barbershops have long been centers of economic prosperity and societal transformation, serving as safe havens for Black folks and playing a crucial role in the early hip-hop scene. Barbershop Talk is a deeply personal performance in progress from Freshworks artist-in-residence Yusef Shelton (Ys1) set within a stylized barbershop environment. Through live music, spoken word, and dance, Ys1 transports the audience into the heart of Black barbershop culture and brings to life the candid conversations and shared experiences that give these communal spaces their transformative impact. Performances will be held at KST’s Alloy Studios (5530 Penn Ave) on October 4th and 5th from 7:30- 9 p.m. Tickets are “pay what moves you,” so price ranges from $15-$30.
