\tJordan E. Cooper’s history-making production, Ain’t No Mo’,<\/em> is closing on Broadway just a few weeks after it officially opened on Dec. one. <\/p>\n

\n

\tWritten by Cooper, directed by Stevie-Walker Webb and produced by Lee Daniels, the Dec. 18 closure of the critically acclaimed play follows 22 preview performances and 21 regular performances. <\/p>\n

\tIn a statement about the play’s closure, Daniels recalled when he first saw Ain’t No Mo’.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cIt shook me to my core,\u201d he said. \u201cI know firsthand how this world \u2014 and industry \u2014 doesn’t always embrace our stories, and I vowed to do everything I could to bring Jordan’s riveting play written in his distinct voice and perspective to Broadway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tDaniels continued, \u201cit was my intention to make history with this play. I’m proud to say we did. Jordan E. Cooper is now the youngest Black American playwright in Broadway history with Ain’t No Mo<\/em>‘. I couldn’t be more proud of our magnificent cast and crew. This is not the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn its short run, the play brought in notable names like Queen Latifah, Tamron Hall, Gayle King, Monique, Clive Davis, Eric Holder, Matthew Broderick, Deborah Cox, Katie Holmes and more. <\/p>\n

\n

\tAccording to its site, Ain’t No Mo’ <\/em>\u201cdares to ask the incendiary question, ‘What if the US government offered Black Americans one-way plane tickets to Africa?’ The answer is the high-octane new comedy.\u201d The play moves through \u201cthe turbulent skies of being Black in today’s America,\u201d and blends \u201csketch, satire, avant-garde theater and a dose of drag.\u201d <\/p>\n

\tThe news of the play’s closure comes days after another Broadway production, KPOP<\/em>announced its closure as well. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
