Black Nativity 2024

Once again, in the spirit of the holiday season, The Shona Sharif African Dance and Drum Ensemble is proud to present Black Nativity. Offering a dynamic experience, this is a classic retelling of the story of Jesus from an African-American perspective featuring gospel music, African drumming and dancing, and passionate acting, directed by Maurice Redwood. 

This year, Black Nativity is presented with a fresh new take on the classic story, featuring a cast of some of the city’s finest performers. Filled with glorious singing and explosive dancing, this year’s production has the makings to be one of the most dynamic experiences of the holiday season.
