New Haven Church Continues "Black Nativity" Tradition – NBC Connecticut
“To bring the Holy Spirit into that, into this play, this is what we embody, this is who we are as a culture,” said Kellman. “The Black Nativity has always been a staple in the New Haven community.” She shows photos that capture the recent revival in New Haven, after the original run from 1984 to 1991. Carissa Kee Conyers performed in the play as a young girl and is now the choreographer. “The entire time I was looking up to my teacher and my choreographer like ‘one day I really want to be able to do this. One day I hope I’ll be good enough to do this,’” said Conyers.
