DBI. FAREWELL FUNDRAISER GALA

The Watah Theatre is sad to announce its closure after 4 years of supporting and developing the legacy of Black Theatre through the production and cultivation of Black & diverse works. BUT this is not a time to mourn it is a time to celebrate all that Watah has accomplished with our community in just 4 years!

On June 26, at the Theatre Centre, The Watah Theatre will be hosting the DBI. FAREWELL FUNDRAISER GALA which will feature live performances, music, food and a good old-fashion dance party!

Doors open at 7pm and the live performances kick off on the main stage of the Theatre Centre at 7:30pm.

Advance tickets are $25. Tickets will be available at the door for $30.

All proceeds from the event will go towards dbi.young anitafrikas GoFundMe campaign, helping her further develop the Anitafrika Method at Goldsmiths, University of London, this fall.
