Da Kink in My Hair is a play by Trey Anthony, which debuted at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2001. The play's central character is Novelette, the Caribbean Canadian owner of Letty's, a Toronto hair salon. Novelette is forced to confront her goals and ideals in life when she receives news that her onetime boyfriend Cedric, who loaned her the money to open the salon, has died and his daughter Verena is demanding repayment of the loan.

I did the sound design for the United States Premier at San Diego Repertory Theatre in San Diego.

The play has gone on to become a half-hour weekly TV series airing on the Canadian Global Television Network in 2007.
