The celebratory musical by Regina Taylor centers on a young Chicago woman who is sent to stay with relatives in the South and is introduced to a group of strong-willed women known for their stunning church hats and love and pride for their rich African American heritage. Known for its dynamic soundtrack featuring everything from traditional gospel to contemporary hip-hop; “Crowns” kicks off Center Repertory Company’s new season.
Vichet Chum’s dark comedy/drama has been drawing attention since it debuted at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre last year. It follows two feuding sisters forced to come together after the death of their spitfire mother. Lurking in the background of all this strife is the family’s Cambodian heritage. The play is getting its area premiere at San Jose Stage Company, directed by Jeffrey Lo.

But as always, the setting of a Mac play is just a springboard for a unique and often jaw-dropping exploration of a range of hot-button themes and topics. Oakland Theater Project is presenting the West Coast premiere of the show, directed by Emilie Whelan.Through Oct. 1; FLEX Art & Design building, 1501 Martin Luther King Jr.
