Institute History
Description
A feisty and affectionate tribute to the unique cultural phenomenon that fuses faith and fashion, Crowns is a stand-up-and-be-counted celebration of black women in their church hats. Adapted from the best-selling book of the same name and inspired by its stunning portraiture, Crowns pays homage to a cherished African American custom through riveting oral histories, gospel-driven music, and a generous dose of "hattitude."
Crowns was commissioned by McCarter Theatre, where it will receive its premiere in the fall of 2002, followed by a production at Second Stage Theatre in New York.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
