Black Nativity opens in Boston on December 2 for three consecutive weekends, with 12 performances through December 18 at the Paramount Center in Boston.

The textured and delicate voices of children and the sonorous voices of adults have enthralled Boston audiences at performances of “Black Nativity” since 1970. This year is no exception as the thunderous African drums herald the Boston production’s 46th anniversary.

“Over our forty-six years of mounting Black Nativity, the National Center of Afro-American Artists has annually offered our city a glorious opportunity to increase and share the joy of the Christmas season,” said Edmund Barry Gaither, the Executive Director. “Our cast of over 75 singers, dancers and musicians have embraced this perspective and have become an expansive family after years of performances. They have given our city on of its most cherished seasonal traditions.”

All performances are at the Paramount Center, 559 Washington St., Boston. Tickets are priced at $47.50, $40.00 and $35.00. For ticket and group sales information, visit blacknativity.org or call the Paramount Center Box Office at 617-824-8000.
