From playwright Regina Taylor comes Crowns, a moving and celebratory musical play that highlights the beauty and brilliance of the traditional Black church.
Yolanda, a young Black woman from Brooklyn, has traveled down south to stay with her aunt after a family tragedy. There, she encounters a world full of traditions… with a hat for every occasion! From flirting to churchgoing to funerals to baptisms, these crowns symbolize a legacy of African American culture and tradition. Can Yolanda find her footing in this royal new world?
Through a blend of Gospel, poetry, and dance, Crowns is a musical play about honoring your roots, finding your groove, and embracing your own style.
Jocelyn Sanders directs a talented cast filled with strong, powerful voices that bring this story to life. Music direction is by Shannon Pinkney with vocal coaching by Lou Boeschen and choreography by Crystal Aldamuy.
Crowns runs January 23 - February 7 at Columbia College's Cottingham Theatre.
