Morristown United Methodist Church

Supernatural: The Play, is a powerful, funny, and insightful production exploring the lives of seven Black women as they confront their definitions of beauty, identity, and self-acceptance through their relationships with their hair. Rated one of L.A.’s top shows to watch by Stage Raw, the production has played to sold-out audiences across New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Maryland, and California. Now, after a COVID hiatus, an updated reading returns to the stage on Saturday, May 23, 2026 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM at Morristown United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall.
Supernatural: The Play weaves together stories of triumph, humor, and self-discovery making audiences laugh while challenging them to reflect on identity, beauty, and belonging. At its heart, the play examines the cultural and legal battles Black women have faced over their hair. From school and workplace discrimination to the legislative fight behind the CROWN Act, the show celebrates the resilience and self-love that define the journey.
Often described as “The Vagina Monologues—but about hair,” the play brings together rich, real-life experiences of women who have struggled with and ultimately embraced their natural selves. Guided by a dynamic narrator, audiences meet a diverse group of women, including a cancer patient, a woman of Jewish heritage, a YouTube personality, and others, each navigating deeply personal hair journeys that reveal larger truths about identity and acceptance.
Since its debut in 2012, the production has traveled across the country. Leads in the play have included actress Kim Coles (Living Single) and the late Suzzanne Douglas, (When They See Us, How Stella Got Her Groove Back). The production continues to resonate with theatergoers, reminding us all that “everyone has a hair story.”
