Conductor

In 2017 Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe premiered How I Got Over at the National (now International) Black Theatre Festival to rave reviews. To celebrate the 2025-2026 Soul of a People season we are presenting How I Got Over on the WBTT main stage. This show features the gospel music you know and love as only WBTT can imagine it, accompanied by the sizzling live WBTT band. Traditional songs like “Travelin’ Shoes,” “Amazing Grace” and “When The Saints Go Marching In” are combined with more current ones such as “Elijah Rock,” “Oh Happy Day,” and “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” to bring you a show that’s sung from WBTT’s heart. Experience the joy and hope of gospel music in this high-energy, electrifying show. You haven’t seen gospel like this before!
