"Ain't No Mo"
By Jordan E. Cooper
Directed by Stevie Walker-Webb
Featuring
TBA
AIN'T NO MO' is an uproarious odyssey that portrays The Great Exodus of Black Americans out of a country that is plagued with injustice. A kaleidoscope of scenes (One for each year of Obamas presidency) lead us to the moments before, during and after this outrageous departure.
With characters like Peaches (our fabulous gate agent), A fiery preacher, and cast members from an unforgettable reality show, we are taken on the revolutionary flight of a LIFETIME.
