“For our 25th anniversary season, we have adopted the theme ’25 Years of Black Heritage,’” said WBTT Founder and Artistic Director Nate Jacobs. “As the only African American theatre on Florida’s west coast, we are proud to offer a unique and special cultural experience to our community. With the shows selected for the coming season, we hope to provide an enjoyable as well as thought-provoking theatre experience.”

This will truly be a thrilling year for WBTT and we hope area arts patrons will feel the same!”
