A Nativity Story presented by Congo Square Theatre at Ruth Page Center For Arts

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Inspired by Black Nativity, Langston Hughes's 1961 retelling, this Congo Square adaptation is framed by the tale of a contemporary single mother, Diane (E. Faye Butler), and her son, Nathan (Mark J.P. Hood), who's determined to find his father. This leads us to a Pentecostal church, where the chorus offers a host of original songs and renditions of familiar carols."

"...A Nativity Story: More Than a Miracle is a Black Ensemble style show that contains enough intense emotions, frantic music and dance including terrific ballet sequences by Kathleen Turner and Anthony Williams making the stage elements interesting. Congo Square Theatre reminds us that African-American concept of The Nativity is unique, emotional, and honestly depicted through gospel music and movement. This show is a fine testament to their beliefs and it is a worthy holiday treat. Hurry, you only have through December 28 to see this rousing show."
