BLACK NATIVITY

by

Langston Hughes

​

Directed by Sharia Benn

Music Direction by Brian McGrady

​

​

Step into a world where the timeless story of Christ's birth comes alive through the magnificent fusion of African American spirituality, jubilant gospel music, and triumphant celebration. Langston Hughes’ classic, Black Nativity, is far more than a theatrical performance—it's a transformative soul-stirring experience that captivates audiences and evokes the magic of the holiday season through a celebration of faith, family, and community. Join us for Sankofa's beloved annual production of this joyous holiday musical that reimagines the Christmas story through the lens of African American culture, blending scripture, poetry, dance, and song in this fourth annual production that has been bringing together audiences from all walks of life for a holiday tradition that celebrates the reason for the season.
