SYNOPSIS

Ain't Done Bad is a momentous theatrical dance piece set to the alluring music of Country music superstar Orville Peck and created by So You Think You Can Dance star Jakob Karr. Featuring ten of the most sought-after professional dancers in the industry, this engaging story of coming out, growing up, and family leaves audiences breathless, as these characters embody a unique celebration of self love and acceptance, all without speaking a word. 

Since its critically acclaimed premiere at the Orlando International Fringe Festival in 2021 (where the show took the festival's highest honor), Ain't Done Bad has astounded audiences during an extended workshop in Orlando and in select cities in North Carolina. Now, the production will make its New York City debut at the Irene Diamond Stage at the Pershing Square Signature Center.
