Black Nativity
Penumbra Theatre
Star Tribune- Recommended
"...“Nativity” re-enacts the story of Jesus’ birth as his pregnant mother and her husband seek a place of shelter. The hymns and spirituals, arranged as jazz, blues and R&B, show that the rejection that Mary, Joseph and Jesus faced would not emerge as their destiny. From such humble beginnings came celestial power."

"...In years of watching Penumbra Theatre's "Black Nativity," I've seen smallish productions and gigantic ones. I've watched star vehicles and ensemble efforts. I've encountered exuberant performances and ones that are more reserved. But I don't think I've seen a "Black Nativity" that's more moving, more exhilarating or more heartfelt than the version now on stage at the theater's home in St. Paul's Selby-Dale neighborhood."
