This reimagined production of Black Nativity, inspired by Langston Hughes, follows a family coming together to celebrate the holiday season while carrying the weight of a recent loss. Guided by the wisdom of their ancestors and interwoven with the timeless story of the birth of Jesus, this heartfelt retelling offers both reflection and joy. Uplifting and deeply moving, Black Nativity is the perfect way to honor tradition and celebrate the spirit of the season. Written and directed by Calvin J. Walker.
