Review:

The Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe makes mostly musicals, from well-known Broadway hits to those created entirely by WBTT’s Artistic Director and Founder Nate Jacob. Nate, director, singer, actor, and playwright, founded WBTT in 1999 as a grass-roots organization and witnessed it grow into a well-respected and popular not-for-profit professional theatre.

The Troupe produces five shows per season in their own theatre. The WBTT is the only Florida west coast professional black theatre. Besides musicals, WBTT is known for producing relevant, thought-provoking dramas written by well-known playwrights such as Lorraine Hansberry and August Wilson. The Troupe also takes part in a number of educational and community outreach programs.
