42nd Season of Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity

Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity has been a Boston favorite holiday tradition since 1970. This year is no exception as the production of the 42nd season will warm our hearts through the delicate voices of children, luminous chords of adults, and the thunderous beat of African drums to herald in the holiday season.

Black Nativity is produced by the National Center of Afro-American Artists (NCAAA) as a gift from Boston’s black community to all men and women of “good will.” Our four decades of mounting Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity honors the conviction of NCAAA founder Elma Lewis and original Musical Director John Andrew Ross that spiritual and humane values have to be celebrated to build wholesome communities.

The show runs December 14th through 22nd at Blackman Auditorium, 342 Huntington Ave, in Ell Hall at Northeastern University. Tickets are $45.00, $36.00 and $18.00.
