Inspired by the fabulousness of The Red Hat Society, HATS! an original musical about a 49.999 year old woman who reluctantly faces the inevitable BIG five-O birthday until she meets several remarkable Red Hat Society women who show her about fun and friendship after 50. When the show opened in October, The Denver Post’s John Moore cheered “HATS! is an affirmative celebration of later womanhood. It’s event theater. It's catharsis and cake. It's a costume party. It's Friday-night bowling. It's a revival. An untapped, ever-flowing gold mine with tender moments of endearing songs.”
The Red Hat Society is a self-proclaimed dis-organization for women over 50 from all walks of life who come together for one reason: to have fun. The Red Hat Society officially formed in 1998 when Sue Ellen Cooper and a group of five friends, dressed in purple clothing and red hats met for afternoon tea. The word quickly spread, and over the past eight years, The Red Hat Society has become the fastest and largest growing women’s movement in The United States. The Red Hat Society has created a worldwide sisterhood by forming more than 40,000 chapters across all 50 states, and in 30 countries, including Canada, Australia, Mexico, and as far as Japan and Egypt.
