SUMMARY:Crowns
DESCRIPTION:Art Forms & Theatre Concepts\, Inc. presents “CROWNS” by Regina Taylor and directed by Art Gilliard. \nThis gospel musical is set to lift your spirits as it tells a moving and celebratory story in which hats become a springboard for an exploration of Black history and identity as seen through the eyes of a young black woman who has come down South to stay with her aunt after her brother is killed in Brooklyn. \nThe production shows that hats tell tales concerning everything from the etiquette of hats to their historical and contemporary social functioning. There is a hat for every occasion\, from flirting to churchgoing to funerals to baptisms\, and the tradition of hats is traced back to African rituals and slavery to the New Testament and current fashion. First Ladies are known for their crowns “hats\,” please show your support. \nThis Gospel inspired production will have you tapping and clapping as it offers a look into the story of the dramatic role hats play in people’s lives.

SUMMARY:Paradise Blue
DESCRIPTION:This dramatic drama by Dominique Morisseau unravels a story about a Detroit neighborhood called Black Bottom\, at the heart of a club district called Paradise Valley\, where a trumpeter called Blue runs a joint they called Paradise\, where he fronts a quartet whose sidemen include a drummer called P-Sam and a pianist called Corn. \nThe bassist has quit\, perhaps because his name was just Joe.

These hostilities are accompanied by the inner conflicts of each character\, which intensify as the plot unfolds.

These hostilities are accompanied by the inner conflicts of each character\, which intensify as the plot unfolds.
