BLACK CO-MINGL NATIVITY to be Presented at The Capri Theater
Performances will take place on December 19 & 20, 2025.

What happens when the Twin Cities' hottest band joins forces with one of the most electrifying actors in American theater? You get Black "Co-MingL" Nativity - a groundbreaking holiday production that fuses music, storytelling, culture, and community into an unforgettable experience.
The Capri Theater will come alive with a vibrant, modern reimagining of the nativity story that centers love, unity, and the power of collective joy. This is not a retelling-it's a rebirth. This production is an original work and not affiliated with Penumbra's "Black Nativity."
At the center of this transformation is Co-MingL, the powerhouse 10-piece band known for igniting every stage they touch. Their sound blends gospel, soul, R&B, jazz, pop, and blues into something both deeply familiar and thrillingly fresh.
They don't just play music. They create atmosphere. They build energy. They move people.
Standing alongside them is Nubia Monks - a force of nature onstage. Known for her emotional depth, dynamic presence, and commanding storytelling, Monks doesn't just act the story...she lives it.
