Culture Collective: A Motown Christmas

Westcoast Black Theatre – Donelly Theater Created by director Nate Jacobs, the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe presents its acclaimed seasonal musical inside the Donelly Theater. A Motown Christmas reinterprets standard holiday carols through the driving rhythms, brass accents, and smooth vocal harmonies that defined Detroit’s golden era of soul. The cast channels the specific performance styles of artists like The Temptations and Stevie Wonder, executing precise choreography while backed by a live band. The production replaces the quiet reverence of traditional winter concerts with the high-energy showmanship and infectious grooves of classic R&B.
