Black Nativity
Black Nativity Postponed TO NEXT WEEKEND Due To Winter Weather
December 19 - 20, 2025
Our upcoming production of Black Nativity will be postponed one weekend due to inclement weather. Originally scheduled for December 12th & 13th, the reimagined and worship-filled celebration will now take place the following weekend, December 19th & 20th, at Word of Deliverance Ministries for the World, Inc. in Forest Park, OH.
Black Nativity, CBTC’s annual holiday tradition inspired by Langston Hughes’ retelling of the Nativity story, enters its 23rd year renewed and centered on this season’s theme: “Jesus: The Way, The Truth, The Life.”
All previously purchased tickets will be honored for any performance during the rescheduled weekend.

After 8 years in our former location, CBTC is finally moving to a space we can call our own..but this old building needs some major work. Your donations will go directly to the renovations of our future home - walls, HVAC, dance studio and more. Donations of any amount [$10 - $100 - $1,000 - $10,000 or anywhere in between] are greatly appreciated! Donors will receive print recognition during this upcoming season.
Since our founding, we have worked with partners and rented space to support our performances, rehearsals and teaching mission. As we look to the future growth and needs of our organization, we need a permanent home: a rehearsal space, a teaching space and a formal studio for our programs.
