On Dec. 11, 1961, Langston Hughes' musical play Black Nativity, a retelling of the Christmas story, premiered on Broadway. Featuring traditional carols infused with gospel stylings and original compositions, it was among the first plays by an African-American writer to be performed on Broadway. Born in 1902, Hughes was a celebrated poet, playwright, novelist, and social activist whose legacy as a cultural leader continues to resonate. He passed away in 1967, but his work endures. In 2013, Black Nativity was adapted into a film directed by Kasi Lemmons. The movie featured a star-studded cast including Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Tyrese Gibson, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Nas, and Vondie Curtis-Hall, introducing Hughes' timeless vision to a new generation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A standalone "spiritual" sequel to TWISTER (1996), TWISTERS tells the story of scientist and storm chaser, Kate Cooper.  Haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado, Kate gets lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. She soon crosses paths with Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures. As storm season intensifies, Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves in a fight for their lives as multiple systems converge over central Oklahoma. TERILYN A.

Every family has their holiday traditions, but few are as complex as one Minneapolis family, whose season revolves around the Penumbra Theatre's annual production of Black Nativity. No fewer than five members of the Whitlock family are involved in the show, which tells the Christmas story through gospel and spiritual songs. Lewis Whitlock passed in 2021, but the family continues to keep his legacy and tradition alive. We take you back to 1997, when MPR News reporter Lauran McCallum spoke to the Whitlocks about the production. Black Nativity is still onstage today, showing Wednesday night through Christmas Eve at the Penumbra Theatre.

Boston's production of the Langton Hughes' classic "Black Nativity" closes this weekend. Barry Gaither, director of the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists, and Adult Choral Director Milton Wright join Radio Boston to reflect on the show, which is celebrating its 53rd year.

On December 11, 1961, Langston Hughes' groundbreaking musical play "Black Nativity" premiered on Broadway, marking a significant retelling of the timeless Christmas story. The innovative production featured a fusion of traditional Christmas carols delivered in the vibrant style of American gospel music, alongside original songs crafted specifically for the play. Hughes, born in 1902, stood as an esteemed American poet, columnist, playwright, novelist, and social activist. He played a pivotal role in shaping the literary genre of "jazz poetry" and remains renowned for his influential contribution to the Harlem Renaissance. His legacy endured beyond his passing in 1967, leaving a mark on American literature and cultural expression. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Within seriousness, there's little room for play, but within play there's tremendous room for seriousness. It's through the act of serious play that wonderful ideas are born.  Carrie Mae Weems is one of today's most influential and generous contemporary American artists, as devoted to her own craft as she is to introducing other artists into the world. Her photography and diverse visual media has won her numerous awards including the Rome Prize, a MacArthur genius grant, and four honorary doctorates, and she was even named one of the 100 most influential women of all time by Ebony magazine.    In this episode, Weems explores the struggles artists must maintain to find balance and reach an audience, how the field cannot advance without the deep and profound inclusion of Black artists, and what the concept of “grace” means to her and her mother.   References: Dawoud Bey The Black Photographers Annual Joe Crawford Roy DeCarava Anthony Barboza Ming Smith Langston Hughes's ‘Black Nativity' Cassandra Myth

Black Nativity, a gospel song-play based on a script by Langston Hughes originally titled, Wasn't That a Mighty Day, with music arranged by the show's stars, Marion Williams and Alex Bradford, was produced by Michael Santangelo and Barbara Griner. The show used two gospel singing groups: The Stars of Faith and the Bradford Singers and also starred Princess Stewart. It was directed by Vinnete Carroll and opened for a limited run on Broadway at the 41st St. Theatre in December 1961 to critical and popular acclaim. The original name for the Song-Play was "Wasn't It A Mighty Day?" Langston Hughes was a well-known agnostic, however wrote about Black culture and practices. He knew that in the Black culture the history of gospel and music was strong. Langston combined Black spirituality and religious traditions to demonstrate the Christmas Story from a Black person's view. Using those tools combined he wanted to share the story of the birth of Jesus presenting in musically and using a gospel choir to portray the story. Much of the research done for this show was captured from various websites such as The New York Public Library, Dramatic Publishing Co. and A Study series presented by Congo Square Theater (Chicago, IL) documentation. •Please send me an email sharing your thoughts about this show segment also if you have any suggestions of future guests you would like to hear on the show.

In this episode of the pod, Elisabeth speaks with Ashley Jordan, the Director of Arts & Cultural Programming, and Christopher Gilbert, Choreographer of the production of Black Nativity.The conversation kicks off with Chris and Ashley sharing about their own upbringings, and how early transformative performance experiences empowered them to translate the momentum they felt on the stage, off the stage, and channel it into creativity and purpose in their lives. Throughout the conversation, they spoke about on how this production – an annual holiday traditional from Black Arts MKE – is a kind of touchstone for the mission and work of the organization, as a whole. They called out how important representation is for young Black people in Milwaukee, who, through this production – are giddy to see themselves in the faces and voices of local performers. Against a backdrop of ongoing racism and systemic injustice, the production of Black Nativity – “A gospel Christmas Music Experience” – is designed to feed both the Black community, while embracing the whole community; it's a production that is uplifting, is fueled by a diverse community, and is “unapologetically Black.” In our discussion, we touch on how Black Arts MKE contributes to the local economy in many ways including by employing artists and working with local business owners, creating and investing in new content including original productions, and inspiring youth through its programming to lean in to creative practices – something that builds confidence and skill. In the conversation, Chris hammers home how he sees the arts functioning in the “new abnormal." He encourages students — and audiences, to seek out experiences like Black Nativity that are designed with intention, with purpose — as he says to his students... “if you're gonna leave the house... make it worth it.” Follow and support Black Arts MKE , and follow on Instagram.Ashley S.

Langston Hughes è stato un importante poeta e scrittore afroamericano. Nato nel 1901, la sua vena lirica si manifestò sin da giovanissimo, ancora prima degli studi accademici alla Università di Columbia e successivamente alla Lincoln  University di Pennsylvania, dove si laureò nel 1929. Ha pubblicato raccolte di poesie sin dal 1926, nonché pièce teatrali, romanzi e racconti, saggi, libri per bambini.La poetica di Hughes è strettamente connessa al jazz. Possiamo attribuirgli lo sviluppo di quella che sarà chiamata jazz poetry, stile poetico in cui il ritmo dei componimenti, pronunciati ad alta voce, riflette quello del musica afroamericana e dell'improvvisazione.Riccardo Bertoncelli ricorda la carriera di questa figura centrale della cultura dei neri d'America, ricordando tra le altre cose le sue collaborazioni con Randy Weston, Charles Mingus, il musical Black Nativity (1961), gli omaggi che gli sono stati resi da musicisti quali Taj Mahal (Mule bone, 1991), da Eric Mingus, David Amram e altri nel progetto The Dream Keeper (2017).

“Go Where I Send Thee” is one of the many highlights of the Broadway musical, Black Nativity.

Listen this week as I talk with legendary director, producer, and choreographer, Otis Sallid, about the inclusion of blacks in Hollywood and on Broadway. Otis Sallid is one of the most notable producer, director, and choreographer in theater, television, and film. His work spans decades in the entertainment industry and includes beloved classics such as School Daze, Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, Black Nativity, A Different World, Living Single, Sister Act 2, Fame, and the Wiz. Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Otis Sallid's tremendous talent became apparent early in his life while studying dance with the Harlem Youth Unlimited. Instructors such as Alvin Ailey recognized his affinity for dance and encouraged him to audition for the High School of Performing Arts. He was awarded a four-year scholarship to the Julliard School. After Juilliard, Otis worked his way as an actor-dancer through numerous Broadway shows and dance companies. The experience on Broadway and in acting companies served to expand Sallid's interest as he realized his dream to write, produce, choreograph and direct. In 1995 Sallid conceived the hit Broadway show SMOKEY JOE'S CAFÉ and in 1996 he choreographed the 69th ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS. He also directed and choreographed the live segment event for the 40th Super Bowl featuring Stevie Wonder, John Legend, India Arie, and Joss Stone. For the rest of the decade Otis went on to work with such artists as Faith Hill, Brooke Shields, Patti Labelle, Tony Bennett, Loretta Devine, Denzel Washington, Sam Jackson, Gregory Hines, Spike Lee, Lawrence Fishbourne, Sarah Jessica Parker, Prince, Vanessa Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Debbie Allen, Vanessa Williams, James Ingram, Viveca Fox, Don Cheatle and Queen Latifah. Otis's commercial directing career began with his own production company Creative Otis Inc. Within the first year, the company produced and directed more than a dozen national commercials for clients such as FORD, COCA-COLA, McDonald's, SPRITE, GEORGIA STATE LOTTERY, AND GENERAL MOTORS. On the international stage, Otis Sallid produces and directs the live events for the Middle East International Film Festival in Abu Dhabi. He's won several awards, including the Bob Fosse LA Choreographers Dance Award, several commercial awards, the MTV and the Music Video Producers Awards. When he is not running his production company Creative Otis Inc., he spends his time speaking and teaching in colleges, universities and arts programs around the world, The Boston Conservatory, Berklee School of Music, Pace University in New York City, The Broadway Dreams Foundation and Perry Mansfield in Steamboat Springs in Colorado just to name a few.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today we celebrate an impressive artist: writer/director Kasi Lemmons! After breaking out as an actress in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Lemmons impressed with her directorial debut Eve's Bayou in 1997. Roger Ebert championed it and the film emerged as one of the biggest indie hits of the year. What followed for Lemmons were three films that disappointed at the box office, though all of them offer plenty to chew on: The Caveman's Valentine in 2001, Talk To Me in 2007 and Black Nativity in 2013. We admire the performances Lemmons gets from her actors, the aesthetic flourishes that pervade each work and a frequently unapologetic look at race, identity and stereotypes. We reference multiple interviews the filmmaker has given over the years, reflecting on what it was like to watch the rise of black voices in cinema in the ‘80s and ‘90s and what's like now to see a new group of filmmakers rise to the occasion. The life and death of the mid-major studio also comes up, whether it's the failure of Broad Green Pictures, the survival of Bleecker Street, Lionsgate acquiring Summit back in 2012 or STX Entertainment's big swings at big content. Finally, Lemmons' 2019 picture Harriet is also discussed, a film that earned its star Cynthia Erivo TWO Oscars nominations. We're also excited to announce a dedicated page for The B-Side where you can find every actor/director and the films discussed in one place: https://bit.ly/2Abfnlb Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide.
