Portland’s African American PassinArt theater group assembled for a previous year’s production
of Black Nativity. Community members interested in participating in this year’s production are
encouraged to contact the organization or attend volunteer training sessions on Oct. 19 and 26.
‘Black Nativity’ Call Out
Theater group
needs volunteers
A new production of the
Langston Hughes play “Black Na-
tivity” will be staged by Passinart:
A Theater Company but needs a
few good volunteers to help out.
The play is a retelling of the
classic Nativity story, but with
an entirely black cast. Tradition-
al Christmas carols are song in
gospel style and the play will be
staged Nov. 29 – Dec. 15 at Bethel
AME Church, 5828 N.E. Eighth
Ave.
But for the show to go on, the
theater looks to build on its tem of
voices, while also getting volun-
teer help with ushers, greeters and
other box office and support help,
said Connie Carley, the theater’s
managing director.
Volunteer training sessions are
scheduled from 12:30 p.m. to 2
p.m. on both Saturday, Oct. 19 and
Saturday, Oct. 26 at the St. Ste-
phen Missionary Church Annex
Building, 3605 N.E. Mallory Ave.
Help is also needed beyond
this production, Carley said. Peo-
ple can get involved in one of the
committees that keep the all-vol-
unteer group going, such as spe-
cial events and artist committees
as well as representing the the-
ater at different “talking events”
throughout the area.
“Mainly, we just want people to
have fun,” Carley said. For Black
Nativity tickets and more details,
