Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff.
The new play Ain’t No Mo’ begins previews tomorrow before a December 1 opening night at the Belasco Theatre. The onstage cast features Jordan E. Cooper, Fedna Jacquet, Marchánt Davis, Shannon Matesky, Ebony Marshall-Oliver, and Crystal Lucas-Perry. Ain’t No Mo’ — written by Cooper and directed by Stevie Walker-Webb — plays a limited engagement thru February 26.
“Direct from a smash-hit run at The Public Theater, Ain’t No Mo’ dares to ask the incendiary question, ‘What if the U.S. government offered Black Americans one-way plane tickets to Africa?’ The answer is the high-octane new comedy from the mischievous mind of playwright Jordan E. Cooper. Moving faster than a transatlantic jet plane, this unprecedented, unpredictable comedy speeds through the turbulent skies of being Black in today’s America. Brilliantly blending sketch, satire, avant garde theater, and a dose of drag, Ain’t No Mo’ will leave you crying with laughter — and thinking through the tears. So put your tray tables in the upright position. Enjoy your flight. And never look back.”
