In JE’CARYOUS JOHNSON’S “THINGS YOUR MAN WON’T DO,” audiences meet Rachel Braxton, who most men would view as the perfect woman. Rachel prayed and prayed after a very tumultuous relationship for the perfect man and God sent her Demetrius McAlister. But, years later, through all the dates and after finally deciding to move in together, Demetrius still won’t commit, at least to marriage that is. As audiences follow Rachel and Demetrius, they go on a non-stop roller coaster ride of raw emotion. Rachel tries to figure out if she will continue to be comfortable with her relationship as it stands or whether she will allow another man from her past to step right into Demetrius’ shoes, doing all the things he won’t; while Demetrius intensely ponders whether to let his fear of moving forward make him forfeit his future with Rachel forever. The high jinx antics and non-stop battle of the sexes drama makes JE’CARYOUS JOHNSON’S “THINGS YOUR MAN WON’T DO” a must see.

For almost two decades, Je’Caryous Johnson has transformed the world of urban theatre and propelled himself into mainstream notoriety and success.

“I have and will continue to be dedicated to showing and displaying on stage real reflections of real people,” said Johnson. “My fans have become accustomed to, not only seeing the best that Black Hollywood has to offer on stage in my shows, but also seeing situations and circumstances that they can truly relate to. That’s what resonates with my audiences time and time again and as a result, they continue to support me and my shows. Whether it’s how to find love, what to do when you’re in love or even being unlucky in love, they get to see it in my shows and see solutions that may also help them in their lives. Some people may call my plays a platform. I call it practical living displayed in a practical, fun, unforgettable way.”
