One of the most produced musicals in America, Crowns explores the lives of the "hat queens," six women in 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 an acclaimed book, Crowns captures the thrill of self-expression with a series of intimate musical portraits.

Civilization (all you can eat) Ponders the Fate of Humanity

Full Price:
$40.00 - $52.50
Our Price:
$20.00 - $26.50

Set at the dawn of the Great Recession, this vaudevillian romp asks the question, "Does humanity have an expiration date?" While six hungry urbanites scramble for sustenance and cook up schemes for love and success, the beasts of agribusiness close in bringing of corruption and consumption. This provocative play looks at American enterprise and ingenuity at the beginning of the Obama age and wonders if there really is a viable alternative to capitalism. Sarah Marshall stars as the anthropomorphic "Big Hog," the ultimate capitalist underdog, along with Danny Escobar, Naomi Jacobson and an award-winning Washington cast. Learn More
