Ain’t Misbehavin’ at Trustus Theatre

Five Black performers costumed in the style of the Harlem Renaissance, smiling and laughing.

It was a time when Manhattan nightclubs such as the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom were the playgrounds of high society and Lenox Avenue dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing. Five performers present an evening of rowdy, raunchy, and humorous songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller’s view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play.

Ain’t Misbehavin’ runs on the Thigpen Mainstage February 21 to March 22, Thursdays through Saturdays and select Sundays. Tickets on sale at trustus.org.
