WBTT and Key Chorale Extend Streaming Video of 'American Roots: The Gospel Experience'

Arts & Culture

Due to community response, the streaming video of the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and Key Chorale collaboration, “American Roots: The Gospel Experience,” is being held over. The presentation, which is available in open-captioned and non-captioned format, will now be available through November 30. "It was truly a thrill to be able to put a program of this magnitude together, in partnership with the skilled singers of the Key Chorale , and perform it in area churches," said WBTT Founder and Artistic Director Nate Jacobs. "Gospel music was born in churches, where African Americans could find release from the pressures of everyday life. This music played a huge role in the cultural experience of the African American community but I think all viewers will find the themes to be relatable and inspirational."
