Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe is thrilled to present this year’s April Fools Fête, a lively and music-filled fundraiser, on Monday, April 1, from 6-9 p.m. in the ballroom at Michael’s On East (1212 East Avenue S., Sarasota). This year’s Fête, with a “Calypso Carnival” theme, will feature live music performed by favorite WBTT artists as well as a special presentation by Stage of Discovery students led by longtime WBTT artist Michael Mendez, all accompanied by WBTT’s sizzling live band. Guests are invited to wear bright, tropical attire; they will enjoy a sumptuous Caribbean dinner and be invited to do the limbo at this vibrant and spirited celebration that will pay homage to the lively Caribbean culture and rhythmic Calypso music. When the formal program ends, guests are invited to stick around for dancing to the hottest Motown tunes, performed by the band. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit WBTT’s education programs. Event co-chairs are Kimberly Parris and Lynne Ross. Major sponsors for the event include the Brunckhorst Family, Sy Goldblatt, Lee and Lydia Rainer, and Dona and Sam Scott.
Tickets are $175; sponsorships are available. Contact Debra Flynt-Garrett to inquire about sponsorships at 941-404-775 or [email protected].
