Micki Grant’s DON’T BOTHER ME I CAN’T COPEDirected and Choreographed by Patdro Harris Musical Direction by Sanford Moore This history-making musical opened on Broadway in 1972 and continues to provoke and inspire more than five decades later. In Micki Grant’s uproarious revue, nine singer-dancers perform 20 numbers in a kaleidoscope of musical genres, from rock to jazz to gospel to funk. Veering from block party to revival meeting to pointed social critique, Don’t Bother Me is a tour de force of Black joy, resilience, and resistance. Performance held at Penumbra Theater located at 270 N Kent St, St Paul, MN 55102. Only transfer of registrations after Feb 21st. Transportation is on your own. If event is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.
