AIN'TNO MO at Soul Rep Theatre Company

Written by Jordan E. Cooper

Directed by Guinea Bennett-Price and Ashley Oliver

“An ingenious, outrageous, hilarious, no-holds-barred theatrical event.”

– TheaterMania

Soul Rep is ecstatic to present the North Texas premiere of the Ain’t No Mo’ by Fort Worth native and celebrated playwright and television writer/producer, Jordan E. Cooper. The production premiered on Broadway in 2022 and was nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Play. Through a blend of sketch, satire, avant-garde theatre and a dose of drag, Ain’t No Mo’ answers the incendiary question: What if the United States government offered Black Americans one-way plane tickets to Africa?

This unpredictable comedy speeds through the turbulent skies of being Black in today's America. A kaleidoscope of moments surrounding this great exodus are told by an ensemble cast featuring Peaches, a larger-than-life flight agent boarding the final plane leaving the United States. Ain’t No Mo’ leaves audiences crying with laughter – and thinking through the tears.
