Friday, March 23rd at the McCarter Theatre Center

When a Chicago teenager is sent to live with her grandmother in South Carolina, she finds herself on a powerful journey toward discovering her place in this world and in her family. Inspired by the best-selling book, “Crowns” weaves faith and fashion together into an inspirational, joyous coming-of-age musical celebration of resilient, triumphant African-American women — and their church hats. Regina Taylor returns to direct this 15th Anniversary revival that will truly lift your spirits at McCarter Theatre Center’s Matthews Theatre in Princeton.

 

“Baby Doll” to Arrive at McCarter Theatre

Leave a comment

BabyDoll-bgTickets are on sale now for the McCarter Theatre Center‘s production of Tennessee Williams‘ 1950s film masterpiece, Baby Doll. The show runs from September 11 through October 11th. 

The production stars Patricia Conolly, Susannah Hoffman, Robert Joy, and Dylan McDermott.  Adaptation to stage by Pierre Laville and Emily Mann and directed by Emily Mann.

Baby Doll was condemned in its time for its riveting tale of commercial and erotic vengeance. The American premiere of this theatrical adaptation will ignite the stage with its darkly comic, steamy tale of one delicate girl’s awakening. From the author of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Glass Menagerie, and A Streetcar Named Desire, Baby Doll is pure Williams, an enthralling tale of prejudice, sexual politics, and passion.

“Tennessee Williams…a poet of the human heart.” – New York Times

“A compelling story of expectations and obligations, of claiming one’s due” – Huffington Post
