Fall Voices Event – The State of the Black Musical
Join WBTT for a thought-provoking evening during our Voices program as we explore the state of the Black musical. Together, we will look at the genre’s history and its trailblazing artists, while diving into the deeper questions that shape today’s musical theatre landscape. We’ll discuss how style, storytelling and representation have changed or stayed the same, and consider who decides which stories rise to the stage. From well-known classics to newer works, this conversation will examine the creativity and cultural power of the Black musical.
