A Night to Remember
The community is invited to enjoy “A Night to Remember” – two nights, actually – with two performances of a benefit concert presented by the Soul Sensations and some very special friends. The concerts will take place on Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, 7:30 p.m. in The Donelly Theatre of WBTT (1012 N. Orange Ave., Sarasota). Proceeds from “A Night to Remember” will benefit Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and support its mission of promoting and celebrating African American history and experience, engaging a broad base of patrons and audiences, supporting the development of a dynamic group of aspiring artists, and building self-esteem in youth of color. The performances will feature vocalists Mark Dortch, Ywada Pitts, Dr. Morgan, Dana Merriweather and Raleigh Mosely II performing songs from the golden age of soul and R&B, backed by a sizzling live band led by Music Director/drummer Etienne “EJ” Porter. The rest of the band is: Judi Glover, keys; Matthew McKinnon, auxiliary keys; John Derick, guitar; Kenny Walker, bass; and Willie Shaw Jr., saxophone. This will be the fifth original performance that Soul Sensations has presented on WBTT’s stage since 2014; the previous fundraisers were: "Doo-Wop to Hip-Hop," "The Second Time Around," "Black or White, Makes My Music Right!" and "Put Your Hands Together," which was performed at WBTT's outdoor performance space during the pandemic. This will be the Soul Sensations’ first presentation in WBTT’s new, state-of-the-art theater. Tickets are $100/sponsors, $50/special guests; visit westcoastblacktheatre.org or call the Box Office at 941-366-1505.
