Come and celebrate the 50th birthday of this Great American Novel with us! This timeless classic is a story familiar to so many of us. Harper Lee's novel, set in the Depression Era in the deep South, portrays the ugliness of injustice and racism in a small southern town, as seen through the eyes of a child. It's a story that is in turns tender, explosive, and heartbreaking.

With spirituals, blues, rap, and hip hop music, and an exuberant gospel style, Crowns takes us through a young woman's journey as she recovers from a family tradegy in the home of her grandmother. Although she feels alienated from these old-fashioned Southern women, finding her roots leads to healing. An award winning musical presented in every major city in the U.S., Crowns is an uplifting look at cultural history, a tribute to the fabulous church hats worn by African American women. Their hats symbolize defining moments and events experienced by these strong and powerful women.
With soulful, spiritual and joyful music, they celebrate family and faith, love and loss, seeking (and finding) one’s true
identity. From the powerful "His Eye is On The Sparrow" to the hilarious "Don't Touch The Hat", you'll be uplifted and swept away by every minute Crowns.
"I'd lend my children before I'd lend my hats. I know my children know their way home." -Now THAT's "hattitude".
