In a world where laughter is both shield and sword, Ain’t No Mo’ by Jordan E. Cooper, directed by Mari Andrea Travis, is featured in Theatre Morgan’s Fall ’25  season, LOL! Laugh to Keep from Crying. LOL! explores the rich, complex tradition of Black humor as a tool of survival, resistance, and truth-telling. Audiences to laugh out loud while thinking deeply.

Ain’t No Mo’ catapults you into a no-holds-barred rollercoaster ride where satire meets raw truth. The premise? The U.S. government has offered Black Americans one-way tickets out—and the clock is ticking. In a rapid-fire storm of outrageous, surreal, and laugh-out-loud scenes, the play rips open what it really means to be Black in America after the soaring promises—and sobering aftermath—of a Black presidency. Hilarious, fearless, and unflinchingly bold, Ain’t No Mo’ is more than a show—it’s an electrifying reckoning with the value this country places on Black lives. Buckle up.
