THE NEGRO PASSION PLAY

NXT THRSDY presents the revised version of THE NEGRO PASSION PLAY by Kathya Alexander OCT 12, 2024 AT PRATT PARK

TNPP is an experience, immersing the audience in a Biblically inspired re- telling of a traditional passion play, within the context of the Civil Rights Movement and Jim Crow South. Audiences will be interactive, including experiencing segregation and desegregation, breaking bread with Immanuel and The Disciples at the Last Supper, singing, dancing, marching, and call-and-response.
