Black Nativity

This is the nativity retold from the African-American perspective–through scripture, Langston Hughes’ poetry, song and dance. Black Nativity reflects the exhilaration and poignancy of African-American culture–from a lazy moon-walking shepherd, more intent on watching over the ladies than his sheep, to three wise men who kneel at the Christ child’s manger to offer not riches, but their hearts. Floyld Gaffney directs.
