Synopsis: "Important Hats of the Twentieth Century spins the tale of Sam Greevy, the hottest fashion designer in 1930's New York... that is, until rival Paul Roms starts releasing strange but popular pieces like 'sweatshirts,' 'tracksuits' and 'skater pants.' When Greevy's minions break into Roms's shady operation, they make a startling discovery that could explain from where - or should we say from when? - these avant-garde ensembles are coming. Soon, this rivalry turns into a battle for the very future of humankind, and more importantly, fashion!"
The creative team behind Important Hats of the Twentieth Century features scenic design by Timothy R. Mackabee, costume design by Jennifer Moeller, lighting design by Jason Lyons, original music and sound design by Palmer Hefferan, and fight direction by Robert Westley.
