Event Description:

Black Nativity is an African American telling of the Nativity story, based on the song-play written by acclaimed African American poet and playwright, Langston Hughes. The show opens in a modern day African American church on Christmas Day, filled with testifying deacons, sanctified ladies, and down-home preaching, and ultimately recreates the journey of Mary and Joseph, resplendent in African costumes, to Bethlehem, accompanied by a rousing repertoire of old-fashioned spirituals. The African American viewpoint and the gospel music make Black Nativity a truly unique and entertaining theatrical experience.
