NC A&T Presents "The First Noel"

After performing Black Nativity for 30 years, NC A&T Theatre Arts Program is starting a new holiday performing tradition. This holiday season, they're presenting The First Noel. The show follows three generations of a family affected by the tragic loss of a loved one. As they struggle to keep the family together an unexpected visit reveals some long-absent Christmas joy. The First Noel is the work of Lelund Thompson and Jason Michael Webb. Thompson received his BFA from NC A&T and his MFA from CASE/Cleveland Playhouse Actor Training Program where he was the first African-American to graduate from the program. He's now based in New York City where he works as an actor, writer, photographer and acting coach. Jason Webb is a two-time stellar award nominee and Dove award winner. Classically trained in piano, Webb is currently the Musical Director of the Broadway Revival of "The Color Purple."
