Black Nativity – A Homecoming
Produced in 2006

Conceived by T. Mychael Rambo and Lou Bellamy
Co-Directed by Austene Van and Lou Bellamy
Musical Direction by Sanford Moore

The holiday season is a time of celebration, of joyfulness, though often greeted with bittersweet sentiments as we welcome the newly born while remembering the recently passed. This year we visit one large, closely-knit family who carry Christmas to the matriarch of the family, a recent widow so swept up in the grief of loss she has barely noticed the season at all. Her family surprises her, bringing music, good cheer, good food and lots of laughter into the house, relieving her loneliness and warming her heart. Join us as we celebrate the bonds of family, the power of faith and the strength of tradition. As always, the best jazz and gospel singers of the Twin Cities will return for the holidays, coming home to our Penumbra family. Bring your friends, family and loved ones to experience the soulful music, the stirring choreography of Uri and Toni Sands, and come on over for Christmas at our house!
