Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe

Great location, beautiful theater , so clean and modern. The play Ruby was outstanding. Great story, cast and music. It is a must see...

Just went to the new show “Ruby”. The show was fantastic - the best I have seen at WBTT!

Treat yourself to wonderful theater in SRQ!

Intimate venue. All seats are great for viewing. The most recent play was amazing! A Soldier Story - a must-see if not sold out.

I love this theater! The ambiance is intimate and very welcoming. They hit the mark each time and pick the perfect actors for each play.

Excellent performers.
Ticket costs are a bit pricey, with no discounts for seniors or veterans.
I suggest lowering prices by a minimum $10-$20.
Performance rates 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pricing rates 2 stars ⭐️⭐️
Will definitely go again.

One of the best that's in town. Their shoes are always superb, theater is new and beautiful and the people there says so kind. Most recently I saw Once on this Island for the first time and it was wonderful! The talent and direction was amazing and it looked beautiful as well. Highly recommend seeing a show there.

I just saw Once on this Island and normally enjoy WCBT's productions.  But, I, along with a lot of friends (who were also there) had the same comment.  Most of us could not understand the words to any song when sung by the chorus or for that matter, even by more than one person. At first we thought their Mikes were blurring the sound, but after a few songs, we recognized it was the poor diction.  Fortunately, the script was easy to follow.  It takes a lot of work to put on a large production but the play is ruined when we can't figure out the words being sung.
On the other hand, the young girl (lead) was amazing, her parents and young male lover, held it all together.  The dancers were fun to watch but hard to understand.

Sincerely, Joan Sable
p.s. I hope my critique helps with future plays.

Small community theater with excellent productions. Before Covid, I saw Marvin Gaye, Prince of Soul. The lead actor Sheldon Rhoden was so good that he sounded almost exactly like Marvin Gaye.
On my 2nd visit, I returned to a beautifully remodeled facility with comfortable seating and excellent sound quality. There wasn't a bad seat in the house! I saw Dreamgirls. The cast was great, especially the actress who played Effie White. She has a phenomenal voice! I got goosebumps while she sang "And I Am Telling You..."!
This experience was better than some of the off Broadway plays I've seen in NYC.
The performance during my 3rd visit - Joyful Joyful - was joyous and uplifting. Phenomenal singers.
I highly recommend this theater!
