Langston Hughes’, Black Nativity, returns to Karamu as a reimagined holiday classic.  Soul-stirring song, music, dance, and theatre combine to create this one-of-a-kind rendition of the Christmas Story.  On a futuristic earth, a copy of the Holy Bible is discovered in a time capsule. The play tells the story of Mary and Joseph’s journey through song and dance, culminating in a rousing finale surrounding the birth of Christ. Glorious gospel music and joyous Christmas carols help to create a soulful celebration of the greatest gift on earth that appeals to all walks of life.  Reggie Kelly directs this new, vibrant extravaganza.
