‘Ain’t No Mo’Sept. 11-Oct. 10Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company641 D St., NW$30 – $67Woollymammoth.net Throughout his career, Jon Hudson Odom has played many queer parts, including Belize, the wise nurse in Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America”; the title character in Jordan Tannahill’s “Botticelli in the Fire”; and recurring same-sex love interests on two HBO series, “Somebody Somewhere” and “Lovecraft Country.” And now, the trend continues.
Odom is playing a drag queen named Peaches in the regional premiere of Jordan E. Cooper’s comedy “Ain’t No Mo” at Woolly Mammoth Theatre.
Comprised of sketches, it tracks the hope-filled Obama administration through the Trump years when African Americans no longer necessarily feel welcome.
In response, all of America’s Black population is offered free tickets on a one-way flight to Africa. Peaches is the flight attendant.
