From New Village Arts: The sold-out 2021 musical sensation, 1222 Oceanfront: A Black Family Christmas, returns to New Village Arts this holiday season as a concert! Featuring soulful riffs, rousing spirituals, an eclectic and lovable cast of characters, and a heaping helping of seasonal cheer, 1222 Oceanfront is a celebration of Black culture, family, and understanding…with a dash of Christmas drama. It reminds us that the holiday spirit is powerful, bringing us together in love, song, and joy.
