The Night before Christmas in Minneapolis
The Night before Christmas is musical fantasy which stays
true to the poem’s original story-line but with a few fresh adaptations. The musical tells the real meaning of
Christmas from an African-American perspective. Gary Hines, the ensemble’s
founding director, stated “The musical is true to the poem but the Lord gave us
inspiration to put our spin on it.” The three live mice will come to life as well as stockings prancing about. But oppose to visions of sugar plums dancing in the children's heads, there is a new
twist with a hint of Black heritage to boot – visions of chitterlings come to
life! Sit back and enjoy soulful music,
hearty dialogue and a healthy dose of comedy.
”Once a sound always a sound”
The
Sounds of Blackness consist of a thirty members who are believers in Jesus
Christ. Their ministry through music is always about glorifying God and
bringing a message of inspiration through music to people everywhere. “No
matter what presentation or performance our music always portrays our heritage
from Gospels, spirituals, jazz, blues, hip hop, Rhythm and Blues.” All genres
can be experienced in The
Night before Christmas. As long as God continues to bless them there
are no signs of stopping now.
The future looks very promising for this multi Grammy group. Their travels have taken them worldwide performing to sell out crowds. Their goal is to take The Night before Christmas on the road in the near future.
