SUMMARY:Black Nativity - 2025
DESCRIPTION:National Center of Afro-American Artists\, Inc. Presents: \n\n\n\nBlack Nativity\n\n\n\nBy Langston Hughes \n\n\n\n\nDon’t just witness the magic—become part of it. \n\n\n\nBlack Nativity welcomes ALL people\, far and wide\, into our circle of light. This is the Nativity story told through the lens of the African American experience\, but its message belongs to everyone who has ever needed hope\, ever sought home\, ever dreamed of a world where love wins. For 55 years\, we have been a gathering place where differences dissolve and humanity unites under the universal language of joy\, resilience\, and peace. \n\n\n\nBlack Nativity tells the story of the birth of the Christ Child from the point of view of Black Americans in the early twentieth century. Amid the hilly streets of Bethlehem\, a hotel with butlers and maids is set and filled with gospel music and gossipy chatter. In it the Holy Family find themselves surrounded by ordinary folk who welcome their message and sing it with joy. Though based on New Testament gospels\, we offer the story as a testament to the joy of new births and to the hope that fills persons of “good will” from all traditions. Our message is one of transformation and spiritual uplift. \n\n\n\nInspired by Langston Hughes’ 1963 original production\, Boston’s Black Nativity retains the artistic direction of NCAAA Founder Elma Lewis; Director of Drama\, Vernon Blackman; Choreographer\, George Howard; and legendary Nigerian master percussionist\, Michael Babatunde Olatunji. The show’s music is set to the musical arrangements and adaptations of NCAAA Founding Music Director\, John Andrew Ross. \n\n\n\nOur 55th Anniversary Season features:\n\n\n\n75+ Voices Rising as One – Children and adults unite in glorious gospel harmonies that will move your spirit and stir your soul. \n\n\n\nThe Pulse of African Drums – Experience the dramatic pas de deux birth scene that happens live before your eyes\, propelled by the ancient rhythms that connect us all. \n\n\n\nA Living Legacy – Witness the continuation of artistic mastery passed down through generations\, from Elma Lewis to today’s visionary artists. \n\n\n\nFresh Energy\, Timeless Message – Gospel\, jazz\, and even hints of Hip-Hop breathe new life into this eternal story of hope. \n\n\n\n“Black Nativity is Boston’s Black community’s holiday card to the world” – a gift of transformation and spiritual uplift that has touched hundreds of thousands of lives across five and a half decades. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Info\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 Hour 30 mins\, no intermission \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll Ages \n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Sign Language Performances: \n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, December 5th\, @ 8:00 PM\n\n\n\nSaturday\, December 13 @ 2:30 PM\n\n\n\nSunday\, December 21 @ 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGroup Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHealth & Safety Information
