A tale of church women and hatsBy Regina Taylor adapted from the book by Michael Cunningham and Craig MarberryDirected by Ron Jones
Co-Production with Houston Family Arts Center
General AudiencesA unique play with music, CROWNS celebrates the lives of the "church hat queens", six African American women of the South whose stories of love, loss, identity, and sisterhood are woven into the hats that crown their heads and the songs that speak their truth. Based on the acclaimed book of photography, CROWNS captures the thrill of self expression with a series of intimate gospel-infused musical portraits, as seen through the eyes of a Brooklyn teenager sent to live with her grandmother in South Carolina. "CROWNS makes you feel as though you were transported to someplace wonderful and real and welcomed there..." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
