Oh Happy Day!

By Jordan E. Cooper 
Original Songs by Donald Lawrence 
Directed by Stevie Walker-Webb 
Presented in Association with Baltimore Center Stage

An impending flood is the least of the Johnson family’s troubles in this outrageous reimagining of Noah’s Ark from Tony Award-nominated writer and director duo Jordan E. Cooper and Stevie Walker-Webb. OH HAPPY DAY! begins in Laurel, MS, at a birthday BBQ for Lewis, the patriarch of the family. Shortly after his estranged son Keyshawn (played by Cooper) makes a surprise appearance, absurdity ensues on a day that will change their world forever. Grammy Award-winning gospel artist Donald Lawrence writes original songs for this biting new play about confronting the divine.

OH HAPPY DAY! will feature Jordan E. Cooper (Keyshawn). Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
