Season Flex Ticket 18-19 - Black Nativity

This gospel "song play" is a joyful retelling of story of the birth of Christ  in dialogue, narrative, pantomime, gospel song and folk spirituals. The first half retells the Nativity story in the down-home verse of poet Langston Hughes, in familiar carols like "Joy to the World," and through interpretive modern dance.  The second half is a celebration of the Black church from past (through slave narrative and civil rights freedom songs) to the present.
