Synopsis:
This ain’t your typical True Colors show.
This summer we’re bringing the bold, the brash, and the brilliant Ain’t No Mo’ to downtown Atlanta — yes, we’re stepping outside our usual space and into something a little wilder.
Written by Jordan E. Cooper, the youngest Black playwright to ever open a show on Broadway, Ain’t No Mo’ is a jaw-dropping rollercoaster of a play that imagines what would happen if America offered every Black person a one-way ticket back to Africa. What follows is a wild mix of sharp satire, hilarious sketches, drag, and unfiltered Black truth. Think In Living Color, Key & Peele, and SNL — but louder, bolder, and unapologetically Black.
This show is raw. It’s real. It’s got teeth. And it’s bringing something Atlanta hasn’t seen quite like this before.
If you’re the kind of person who loves to laugh, gasp, and talk about it after — Ain’t No Mo’ is your show.
This one’s for the bold. Don’t miss it.
