New Village Arts (NVA), North County’s cultural hub, launches its 20th Anniversary Season with a world premiere: "1222 Oceanfront: A Black Family Christmas," a new holiday musical written by San Diego playwright Dea Hurston and devised by Frankie Alicea-Ford, Kevin “Blax” Burroughs, Milena (Sellers) Phillips, and Dea Hurston, centering on the family holiday experience in a humorous and touching way.

About the play:
Dorothy Black invites you to join her and her adult children for Christmas Eve dinner at 1222 Oceanfront. The festive evening features all of the Black family traditions including Italian food, dancing, singing and skits. The evening may also include a bit of drama, because, well it’s family. But seriously, how much drama can there be on Christmas Eve?

"1222 Oceanfront: A Black Family Christmas" features a joyous mix of original holiday songs with traditional carols re-imagined.

PREVIEWS: NOV. 19 – 26 OPENS: NOV. 27 RUNS: NOV. 28 – DEC. 26
