The play will run from December 10 through December 20 at the Bishop Arts Theater Center.

TeCo Theatrical Productions, Inc. will continue its 2009/2010 season with Black Nativity by Langston Hughes at the Bishop Arts Theater Center. It opens Thursday, December 10 and runs through Sunday, December 20. The production will be directed by Cynthia Navarette and feature New Arts Six, an ensemble of classical trained vocalists, musicians, and artists.

From its inception, the ensemble has produced original musical/theatrical works, utilizing Spirituals to musically record a page of history and folk tradition. A few of these original works are produced by prominent African-American playwrights including the late Rudy Eastman of Ft. Worth's Jubilee Theatre and Dr. Arthur L. Allen of Allen's Children’s Theatre and Goober Productions. The ensemble is equally inspired by Dallas author, journalist, and talented musician, Rosalyn M. Story, whose book And So I Sing, chronicles the stories of African-American women who achieved noted operatic careers despite artistic, social, and racial barriers of their day.
