“Light Up the Night!” features a live band led by Resident Music Director (and bass player) James “Jay” Dodge II, accompanying a variety of popular WBTT artists – including favorites like Raleigh Mosely, Henry Washington and more – as they perform soul hits of the 1970s. "With the pandemic, it’s felt like every time we take one step forward, we’ve been forced to take four steps back. It breaks our hearts to see our beautiful, new theater building still sitting unused," said Nate Jacobs, WBTT’s Founder/Artistic Director. "We are excited to begin performing again and I can guarantee patrons are going to leave our performing arts center feeling energized and happy."
