2005 DRAMA DESK AWARD Nomination for Outstanding Musical Revival

"The audience was positively giddy ... More than three decades later the work still resonates" -- The New York Times

"Startlingly fresh" -- Time Out NY

"Refreshingly raw. arresting [and] urgent.chilling, potent [and] bracing." -- Variety

"Explosively directed .Outstanding cast.If 'renaissance' means 'rebirth,' then the Ain't Supposed revival represents a slice of present-day Harlem Renaissance." -- The Village Voice

"Van Peebles' erupt from anywhere and everywhere explodes before our eyes like a spontaneous fireworks display.a show unlike any other." -- The New York Theatre Experience

A totally unique fiction form, Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death is a gutsy, lusty narrative of street life that explores every aspect of ghetto agony. Peopled by junkies, whores, pimps, lesbians, drag queens, sweatshop workers, crooked cops, prisoners, lovers, and dreamers, Van Peebles' play is considered a tradition shattering and trend setting work which spawned the choreopoem, spoken word, and rap music. Ain't Supposed to Die was a huge hit on Broadway in its original inception running for 325 performances and garnering seven Tony nominations, including Best Musical.

The doors open at 7:00 pm with DJ entertainment and cash bars until 8:00 pm.
