'Tis the Season For Black Nativity

Every year, the talented students of North Carolina A&T’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts give us their rendition of Black Nativity.

Black Nativity, a play written by Langston Hughes, depicts the birth of Christ and the first Christmas featuring an all black cast.

Entering into its twenty sixth season, it has been both a fall tradition and favorite amongst the students. From its heart racing dances, to its toe-tapping songs and hymns, this play offers non-stop excitement and wonder for everyone.

“It’s such a great play, said Alyson Frink, a junior at A&T. I remember my first time seeing it with my friends and how we when it was over, we danced all the way back to our dorms”.

Black Nativity opens in Harrison Auditorium the first week in December. The show goes from Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m. and has a special showing on Sunday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. With so many showings, there’s certainly no reason anyone wishing to see the play should miss it.

The timing of the play is also well placed at the end of the fall semester, and the weekend before finals week. “It’s a great way to shake off the semester slums and get you ready for the stress that is finals week”, says Essence Adams. Essence is a junior, majoring in sports medicine.

“After watching the play, I always come back to the room dancing and humming, said Adams. This wouldn’t be a problem accept my roommate is usually studying for her finals.

Black Nativity, is a great way to bring in the holiday season. Whether it’s your first time or you sixth, it's a play that students can and will enjoy again and again.

Just ask Aryn Collins, a sophomore at A&T who has been enjoining the play since she first became a student. “I go to see this play twice every year and it never gets old for me”.
