ABOUT THE EVENT
Micki Grant’s
DON’T BOTHER ME I CAN’T COPE
Directed and Choreographed by Patdro Harris
Musical Direction by Sanford Moore
March 12 through April 5, 2026
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. Included in the 4-play, and 3-play packages.
