YOU MUST WEAR A HAT
by C. "Meaks" Meaker
directed by Hadley Shipley
Feb 27-Mar 14, 2026
Tuesday & Weeks make hats on the Great Barrier Reef, waiting for the world to end.
The fish have died, the coral won’t hold on for long, and it’s been a considerable time since they saw another person. It is very, very hot outside. You must wear a hat.
They pass the time together, making hats. And deciding whether or not to… to… keep making hats.
A world premiere by C. Meaker, You Must Wear a Hat is filled with the unspoken. Hope, grief, plans for the future, and memories of the past that must be shared. Tuesday & Weeks try to understand what community means when the world might end tomorrow. Or maybe next week. A climate-change play for two people and a rabbit.
A World Premiere.
