Now more than ever, we all need a dose of positivity. The entire audience got a huge dose of Love and Positivity last evening when I went to see the Musical "Crowns". People were standing up and clapping, and the women behind me sang along with every song!The musical was heart warming and uplifting.
Vanessa Bell Calloway danced the Katherine Dunham Technique so eloquently, like it was the thing to do! She moved across the floor like a Gazelle - beautifully. The entire cast was excellent!
The Ebony Repertory Theater and the Pasadena Playhouse, in Association with Regina Taylor Presents the Musical "Crowns".
The musical is a spin off of the book written by author-playwright Craig Marberry and photographer Michael Cunningham. The book consists of some of the most beautiful portraits of African American women in their "Sunday - go - to - meeting " hats.
The musical concentrates on the events surrounding an a young girl from Brooklyn, who was sent down South to her grand-mother to escape from a traumatic event that happened in Brooklyn. The story expounds on the lives of six women in the South and their individual stories. After seeing this musical, you too, will walk like the Queen or King that you are in your "Sunday Best" hat. Right?

This is a "Must - go - see" Musical, that is a heart warming, soul stirring and a reminder of the importance of symbolism in our lives. No matter how small that symbol might be, it can keep you on track when things seem to be going down hill, reminding you to pump on the breaks and stand still and let God continue to show you the way forward out of any situation. Believe that!
The cast consists of the truly multi-talented Vanessa Bell Calloway, Suzzanne Douglas, Sharon Catherine Blanks, Ann Weldon, Clinton Derricks-Carroll and Angela Wildflower Polk, all seasoned Actors.
