We are delighted to once again present Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity. This year’s version features new faces and voices, including some Stage of Discovery youth performers. This show is a celebration of the nativity story, with gospel, blues, spiritual and Christmas music paired with the poetry of Langston Hughes and the creativity of WBTT. Black Nativity will inspire hope, joy, and peace to you and yours!
