Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity tells the story of the Nativity from an African-American perspective through a combination of scripture, poetry, dance, and song with griot-style narration.

Written by Langston Hughes, directed by Jerry Foster, music directed by JerMichael Riley PhD, choreography by Kemba Shannon.

A roof-raising, spirit-catching, musical tour-de-force that will bring you to your feet. Pure joy for the season. Bring the whole family. Make it a block party.
