An Ebony Nativity

About this event

AN EBONY NATIVITY is a retelling of the birth of Jesus Christ from an Afrocentric perspective based on the Gospel of St. Luke. This story is told in respect to Black American spirituality and the oral traditions of Black Churches. In “griot-style of storytelling”, AN EBONY NATIVITY will infuse music, choreography, prose and narrative to reflect and celebrate the cultural interest of the times. It’s a celebration that is sure to have you clapping your hands, stomping your feet, and feeling the spirit of Christmas everywhere you go!
