A moving and celebratory musical play 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.
Hats are everywhere, in exquisite variety, and the characters use hats to tell stories 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 and forward to the New Testament and current fashion.

COVID-19 Policies: All audience members must be masked while in the Playhouse. Vaccination is strongly recommended but not required.

The Book of Will
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Richard Atha-Nicholls

Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without actors Henry Condell and John Heminges,
we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! So, the King’s Men are getting the band back together. The goal: to gather the Bard’s
scattered masterpieces and bind them to each other, and to history. It’s a grand feat, to be sure. Especially for a community of actors
who may know all the ins and outs of iambic pentameter, but next to nothing about binding books. Even so, they undertake their mission with pluck and wit
and hearts full of joy. It’s a theatrical, beat-the-clock race to save a legacy, offering some of Shakespeare’s greatest hits spoken by your favorite players.

February 24 - March 19, 2023
Thurs-Sat: 8:00pm
Sun: 2:00pm
No matinee performance on 3/5 due to the St Patrick's Day Parade.
