black nativity 2025 photoBlack Nativity presents the traditional Christmas story as found in the New Testament gospels as a narrative of common people receiving the divine gifts of joy and hope.

Within a swell of energetic, gospel music performed by children and adults, the Christ Child arrives amid dramatic dance propelled by African drums.

His arrival portents a new era for all people of good will, an era heralded by the uplifting music that swells throughout the theater.

The National Center of Afro-American Artists offers Black Nativity as a gift from Boston’s black community to people of good will from all cultures and spiritual traditions.

It seeks thereby to bring the city together and heals its fractures through communal love and caring.

Our 55th Anniversary Season features:
75+ Voices Rising as One – Children and adults unite in glorious gospel harmonies that will move your spirit and stir your soul.

The Pulse of African Drums – Experience the dramatic pas de deux birth scene that happens live before your eyes, propelled by the ancient rhythms that connect us all.

A Living Legacy – Witness the continuation of artistic mastery passed down through generations, from Elma Lewis to today’s visionary artists.

Fresh Energy, Timeless Message – Gospel, jazz, and even hints of Hip-Hop breathe new life into this eternal story of hope.

“Black Nativity is Boston’s Black community’s holiday card to the world” – a gift of transformation and spiritual uplift that has touched hundreds of thousands of lives across five and a half decades.
