Black Nativity is an annual production presented by the Triangle Performance Ensemble. Director Wendell Tabb and musical director Xavier Cason adapted this soulful celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, originally written by Langston Hughes, for the Durham performance. This year looks a little different than usual: Due to COVID-19, the play, which was recorded prior to the pandemic, is being screened virtually. The show opened on December 18 and will stream though December 31.
