Review: JOYFUL!JOYFUL! at Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe
by Shanti Kennedy - December 13, 2023
What did our critic think of JOYFUL!JOYFUL! at Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe? With their Christmas Card to the Sarasota Community, the WBTT encapsulates traditional and contemporary treasures of holiday music. This show is part Spiritual, part R&B show and part Rock Concert! This show was created by Nate Jacobs, Founder and Artistic Director of WBTT. The intention of this show was to create a feeling of gratitude and to “remind us to celebrate the gift of life”. In this performance I would say that this ensemble has surpassed this assignment!
