SENG’S HAIR SALON

Presented by InterAct Theatre Company

World Premiere!

by Saymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay
directed by Chongren Fan

April 17-May 10, 2026 Run Time: TBD

Commissioned as part of the Philly Cycle! In partnership with Laos in the House, VietLead and the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia.

When a mysterious and fatal epidemic starts to haunt their shop, three generations of a Lao family in South Philly clash over what’s best for the well-being of their matriarch. This modern American family includes Lao, Vietnamese and Cambodian characters, who must navigate a dramatically shifting local and national cultural political scene while advocating for greater political representation.
