Opening Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe's 2024-2025 theatre season is “Soul Crooners Solid Gold Edition.” (Created, adapted and directed by Nate Jacobs.) The “Soul Crooners” productions have been pivotal in the success of WBTT: “Soul Crooners” premiered on a rental stage at the Sarasota Arts Center in 2009, has sold out multi-performance runs at the National Black Theatre Festival twice, and got a sold-out crowd of thousands on their feet during the “Soul Party” at Ed Smith Stadium in 2019. “Soul Crooners Solid Gold Edition” – a celebration of the music that ushered in a new era of soul during the 1970s – has not been featured on the mainstage since its debut in 2009. The production is a guaranteed dance-in-your-seats, sing-along, sensational good time.
