Black Nativity is an African-American telling of the Nativity story, based on the Song Play written by acclaimed African-American poet and playwright Langston Hughes. The show recreates the journey of Mary and Joseph, resplendent in African costumes, to Bethlehem, accompanied by a rousing repertoire of spirituals. The combined African-American viewpoint and gospel music make Black Nativity a truly unique and entertaining theatrical experience.

Please Note: The concert version will be a scaled down version where it will primarily focus on the music, dancing and singing. 

This program is a Cultural Arts Partnership with the Fantasy Theatre Factory, additionally partnered with the Warten Foundation, and supported by Wayne and Lucretia Weiner, The Broward Center, Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs, and Miami Dade County Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council.
