    Langston Hughes’ retelling of the Christmas story from an Afro-centric perspective, infused with rich gospel, blues, funk, jazz music and dance with griot style story telling from an ensemble cast.

    Now, today, here in this place, nineteen centuries removed from Bethleham — in a land far across the sea from Judea — we sing His songs and glorify His name.

    *Preview performances will be Pay What You Can at the door.  However, as PWYC events may sell out on a first-come first-serve basis, you may secure reservations for your group by purchasing $20 tickets in advance. 

    **Join us on December 16 for a special, black-tie-optional performance of Black Nativity.  This festive fundraiser is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the our H Street community with the board and staff of Theater Alliance and the cast of Black Nativity.

    Saturday, December 17th - 3:00pm
    Sunday, December 18th - 3:00pm

    Doors Open: 30 minutes prior to each performance

    Each December the church body joins together to present a celebration of Christ’s birth.  Thirty years of continual praise has come from children as young as 4 years old to adults who are 83 years old who are raising their voices, acting, working behind the scenes, or adding energy through choreography.  Innovative lighting, snow falling on the crowd, and Monks who have taken a vow of silence yet still find a way to present the “Hallelujah Chorus” all bring interest to the program.  Presented to the community each Christmas season, the Christmas Celebration has become a highlight for everyone involved.

    Complimentary Tickets Available November 14, 2011.

    Veteran soul and gospel vocalist Shirley Murdock is on a journey just as the title of her latest CD, The Journey (Tyscot Records), suggests.  Back in the `80s, she set out to become a gospel singer but her path led to becoming a back-up singer for the funk band, Zapp. Bandleader, Roger Troutman, eventually snagged Murdock a record deal with Elektra Records where she recorded Top 10 R&B hits such as “As We Lay,” “Go On Without You,” “Husband” and “In Your Eyes.” Then, in 2002, renowned evangelist Bishop T.D. Jakes made Murdock’s lifelong dream of recording a gospel CD come true when he released her first gospel album, Home, a Top 10 smash.

     

    Over the last two decades, Murdock has dreamed up a new career as an actress in the new holiday musical entitled, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” Murdock co-stars with R&B veteran Freddie Jackson in the comedy that also features Lisa Page Brooks and Sam Logan. In it, Murdock portrays a feisty pastor’s wife who keeps order in her husband’s church and
