This summer, Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe is thrilled to present "Coconut Cake," written by Melda Beaty. The comedy tells the story of four retirees who spend their days debating the mysteries of life over coffee and games of chess at a local McDonald’s. But when a mysterious woman moves to town, tempting Eddie Lee and his chess buddies to indulge in her melt-in-your-mouth coconut cake and medicine cabinet secrets, their lives are changed forever. This play was the winner of the Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin Rolling World Premiere Award at the 2022 National Black Theatre Festival; the award was created by NC Black Rep to discover and develop new African American theatre classics, while promoting collaboration between African American theatre companies. It is premiering at five different theatres in 2024, including WBTT. Show runs June 12-23 in the Donelly Theatre of WBTT (1012 N. Orange Ave., Sarasota); showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and 2 p.m. on Saturdays as well as on Sunday, June 23. Tickets are $35.
