Langston Hughes' Black Nativity

Langston Hughes' Black Nativity

Paramount Center
559 Washington Street Boston

Langston Hughes' Black Nativity -- a joyous account of the nativity told through scripture, verse, music and dance -- is a true Christmastime tradition, and National Center of Afro-American Artists' captivating production is the longest running performance of the Harlem Renaissance poet's song-play in the world. First performed in 1961, Black Nativity is a retelling of the Christmas story from an Afro-centric perspective, intended to explore the depths of cultural identity, pride and unity within the African-American community. It's lively, inspiring production for the whole family, infused with rich, moving live music, singing, dancing and storytelling.

Presented by Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College
