Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe's annual spring fundraiser, the April Fools’ Fête, takes place on Monday, March 31, 6 p.m. at The Ora (578 McIntosh Rd., Sarasota). This year’s Fête, with a “Family Reunion” theme, will feature live music performed by favorite WBTT artists as well as special presentations by select Stage of Discovery students and alumni, all accompanied by WBTT’s sizzling live band. Guests are invited to wear casual, picnic attire; they will enjoy a sumptuous “upscale picnic” style feast, catered by Michael’s On East. When the formal program ends, guests are invited to stick around for dancing to the hottest Motown tunes, performed by the WBTT band and professional artists. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit WBTT’s education programs and support WBTT’s deep investment in mentoring and offering a stage for young, aspiring artists and playwrights of color. Event co-chairs are Kimberly Parris and Lynne Ross. Tickets are $175; sponsorships are still available.
