CBTC_Black Nativity BLACK NATIVITY
Cincinnati Black Theatre Company
Dec. 2-9
World of Deliverance, Family Life Center [Forest Park]

The “Black Nativity” originated in 1961 and was performed Off-Broadway by Langston Hughes. The modified celebration of the birth of Jesus exhibits more than just another Christmas production. This illustrious story is filled with joyfulness as it expresses one of the Bible’s most prevailing narratives that took place in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago. The spirited performance is presented with a taste of African American flavor. “Black Nativity” articulates not only the story of Jesus’ birth, but also the splendiferous sound of Gospel music! The production is a commemoration of how many celebrate the amazing story Jesus being born of the Virgin Mary both nationally and internationally. The “Black Nativity” is a recurring favorite and CBTC is elated to feature a new exhilarating and diverse show each and every year. The production is filled with impactful sounds of music, praise and worship, song and dance, bursts of energetic, astounding costuming, and prophetic storytelling! What a grand experience this will be.

Arts Center at Dunham [West Price Hill]

Directed by Chris Yearout

Goldilocks is on trial for breaking and entering. Will she be found guilty and sent to prison, or will the truth come out? It’s up to Judge Wallabee and some very silly jurors to decide, after hearing testimony from Goldee, the bickering Three Bears and surprise witness Merwin the Big Bad Wolf, among others.

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
Lebanon Theatre Company
Dec. 1-10
Lebanon

Directed by Amy Edington-King
Produced by Kate Edington

Cast: Eric Duffy as Charlie Brown, Natalie Greene as Lucy, Preston Brown as Linus, Grace McGee as Patty, Brian Poston as Schroeder, Jack Sweeten as Snoopy, J.R. Sadano as Pig Pen, Gabby Griffith as Sally, Lily Cropper as Violet & Kara Meoake as Frieda

The classic animated television special A Charlie Brown Christmas comes to life in this faithful stage adaptation, in which Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts Gang discover the true meaning of Christmas. When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism he sees among everyone during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but this proves to be a frustrating endeavor. When an attempt to restore the proper holiday spirit with a forlorn little Christmas fir tree fails, he needs Linus’ help to discover the real meaning of Christmas.
