In the 1920's and 30's, in a time when Manhattan nightclubs like the Savoy Ballroom where the playgrounds of high society, dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing. One such musician, a part of the Harlem Renaissance, was Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller. Let us take you back as 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. The cast and crew of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' would like to dedicate the run of this production to the legendary Miss Lena Horne, a contemporary of Fats Waller and pioneer in African-American entertainment. With thanks for a lifetime of service in both entertainment and race relations - courageous, gracious, wise, loving and completely beautiful in every way, she will be missed, but never forgotten.
