Cuttin’ Up Feb 15th – Mar 3rd

Description

Cuttin’ Up – February 15 – March 3, 2012 @ The Actor’s of Charlotte

In barbershops across America, more history is taught than in any classroom. Haircuts tell tales—a departing soldier wants to ship out sporting a new fade, young men with dreadlocks brag about women, or a father christens his son with his first trim. The barbershop is a community, and its denizens are the storytellers of their time.

York, SC, native Charles Randolph-Wright crafts a memorable collection of personal history, current events and community lore. These colorful stories illustrate one remarkable truth: “When you have history, you belong.”

Adapted by Charles Randolph-Wright
Based on the book by Craig Marberry
