Bronx Arts Scene: Regina Taylor's "Crowns"

Tonight, Fountain Spring Baptist Church will host a production of Crowns, an award-winning play by Regina Taylor.

According to a press release, Crowns "takes an intimate look at six women whose storied lives are woven into the hats that adorn their heads. This gospel-infused musical presents an oral history of the African-American women affectionately known as 'hat queens,' as seen through the eyes of Yolanda, a Brooklyn teenager sent to live with her South Carolinian grandmother."

The doors open at 8 p.m. There will be two more performances on Saturday, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Call (212) 991-8471 for information. Tickets are $25 for adults; $15 for kids. Fountain Spring Baptist Church is located at 2011 Grand Concourse (near East Burnside Ave.)
