A Nativity Tribute

Wednesday, December 4 and Thursday, December 5, 2024

This tribute is derived from the timeless Langston Hughes gospel song-play, Black Nativity, featuring your favorite artists, music, and holiday cheer from our partners at the African American Museum of Performing Arts, who will take us on a journey through the biblical story of Mary and Joseph. Join us to make a joyful noise to celebrate this holiday season.

A Nativity Tribute is adapted by TaRon Patton with Co-Directors TaRon Patton and Kelvin Roston, Jr.

Note: The same ticket link will work for both nights.

About the African American Museum of Performing Arts

The African American Museum of Performing Arts’ (AAMPA’s) was founded in 2019 by award-winning television and stage actor and director Harry J. Lennix and TaRon Patton. AAMPA’s mission is to study, memorialize, and present works that celebrate the contributions of Black performance to arts and culture from the perspective of African American performing artists globally. AAMPA’s ultimate objective is to become a nationally recognized center for African American history and tradition within the performing arts.

AAMPA was founded in response to a lack of resources for African American artists of all disciplines to gather, to learn from their ancestors and each other, and to amplify their significant contributions to the performing arts in an environment that centers African American voices. AAMPA’s partnership with the Driehaus Museum began last year when we produced a Kwanzaa Celebration, and the one woman show entitled Tammy McCann Presents: Mahalia Jackson at Carnegie Hall.
