Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe (WBTT) was recently thrilled to receive a grant of $40,000 from The Shubert Foundation. This funding is designated toward WBTT’s 2026-2027 theatre season. This is the seventh year WBTT has received a grant from The Shubert Foundation, which is the largest funder of unrestricted grants to U.S.-based not-for-profit dance companies and theaters. The foundation's grants are intended to support the artistic process by providing general operating support to organizations with a history of fiscal responsibility and an established track record. "We are so fortunate to enjoy this generous support from a distinguished funder like The Shubert Foundation – unrestricted grants are essential in supporting the significant costs of producing a high-quality theatre season,” said WBTT Executive Director Julie Leach.
