A young woman who moves down South to live with her aunt is given a lesson in “hat-titude” in this toe-tapping musical. From fur hats to flowered hats, pillboxes to turbans, to hats for work and hats for church, there is a hat for every occassion, and a cultural and historical significance to them as well as “Mother Shaw” and her “hat queens” share in their stories. This soul-stirring celebration demonstrates the handing down of culture from one generation to the next and celebrates the refuge, equality and healing that occurs in this place of spirituality.
