Ain?t No Mo - Jordan E. Cooper

An uproarious play comprised of vignettes that deftly satirize post-?post-racial? America.Jordan E. Cooper?s Ain?t No Mo? is a hilarious satirical odyssey that needles post-Obama racial realities of life in the U.S. The time is the near future, and a giant plane has been chartered to take Black Americans ?back to Africa.? Hurrying passengers down the runway is Peaches, a flight attendant (played by a performer in drag) who is organizing the boarding process. Within this frame, Cooper examines lives torn apart by gang violence, the aspirations of a Black middle class eager to leave behind those they feel are beneath them, and the equally delusional aspirations of some white Americans to ?transition? into Blackness. Ain?t No Mo? is a laugh-a-minute comedy that doubles as a serious investigation of the ways that Blackness in America has always been both a burden and a prize.
