INDRA THOMAS IS DIRECTOR OF OPERA AT SHORTER UNIVERSITY AND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FOREMOST AIDAS IN THE WORLD TODAY.  MS. THOMAS HAS APPEARED AT MANY OF THE WORLD’S GREAT OPERA HOUSES, SUCH AS THE METROPOLITAN OPERA AND THE VIENNA STATE OPERA; AND PROMINENT VENUES IN FRANCE, GERMANY, SPAIN AND ENGLAND, INCLUDING THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL. ROME SHAKESPEARE IS THRILLED TO HAVE INDRA DIRECT THIS SHOW AT THE RAD PLAYHOUSE, THE INDOOR VENUE FOR ROME SHAKESPEARE.

 

AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’, THE MUSICAL IS A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF THOMAS “FATS” WALLER. IT WAS A TIME WHEN MANHATTAN NIGHTCLUBS LIKE THE COTTON CLUB AND THE SAVOY BALLROOM WERE THE PLAYGROUNDS OF HIGH SOCIETY AND LENOX AVENUE DIVES WERE FILLED WITH PIANO PLAYERS BANGING OUT THE NEW BEAT KNOWN AS SWING. 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.
