Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe April Fools Fête Raises Fun, Funds for Arts Organization

Arts & Culture

For more than a decade, Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe has offered the lively and music-filled fundraiser, its April Fools Fête, to support its education programs. This year, with social events cautiously returning to the scene, WBTT moved the event outdoors to its theatre arts center for a socially-distanced live audience on April 5. WBTT also offered a livestream option so the rest of the community could join the party virtually. Highlights included high-energy performances by WBTT artists and students, testimonials, a paddle raise, and delicious dinner catered by Michael's On East. Approximately $170,000 was raised in support of WBTT's education programs.
