    In this celebration of the spirit, the Sunday hats and customs of black women are a springboard into memory, Southern traditions, and history. A young African-American woman comes South to stay with her aunt, after her borhter dies on a New York street. At first, she feels strange among traditional black women in hats and gloves. Stories of hats and church, of manners and family, weave this city girl and the women into hymns of praise and songs of hope, hates of bygone eras, New Testament lessons and anthems, spirituals of slavery, freedom, and joy.

    Crowns is playing in the Adventure Theatre at the Cumberland County Playhouse.  Click here for a seating chart.

        My daughter (18) needed to view and review a live play. We had no idea what to expect. Our families have lived in East TN all our lives but had never been to a play at the Cumberland County C Playhouse. We loved it! Very talented cast. I am telling everyone how much we enjoyed the show. The only thing I can compare it to was the quality shows we saw on the Disney cruise last year. Thank you for quality family entertainment.
