Da Kink in My Hair is a landmark Canadian theatre and television project created by Trey Anthony. It began as a play at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2001, moved to Theatre Passe Muraille, and later to Mirvish Productions, offering an intimate look at Black women’s lives in Toronto. The project also became a half-hour Global TV series (2007–2009), notable for being the first primetime Canadian network series created by and starring Black women in Canada. The show and stage productions have earned accolades, including NAACP Theatre Award wins and a Gemini Award for Best Hair, with Dora Award nominations for the live productions. A 20th anniversary revival directed by Weyni Mengesha brought the story back to Toronto’s Bluma Appel Theatre. While there are no announced 2025 tour dates, Da Kink in My Hair remains a pivotal part of Canadian theatre history.
