National Theatre closed down for overhauling
Ghana’s National Theatre is undergoing some
minor maintenance and has therefore been
temporarily closed for the next two weeks.

It will remain closed until the end of January,
reports the GNA.

The theatre’s Assistant Estate Manager Mr
Welbeck Tamakloe says the maintenance work will
entail vacuuming, overhauling, painting, repairing
of and replacement of old equipment, changing
carpets and interior décor amidst a raft of other
face-lifting works.

According to Mr Tamakloe, “Art and entertainment
is about creativity and to maintain our accolade
as the citadel of theatre, we must always keep the
place attractive”.

The Theatre, built with technical assistance from
the Chinese Government, was completed in December
20, 1992 and currently houses resident performing
companies including the National Dance Company,
National Theatre Players (Abibigromma) and the
National Symphony Orchestra.


It also has youth groups such as the Dance
Factory, Indigen Afrika and the Vision Band.

The National Theatre has served as an ideal place
for events such as Conferences, Seminars, Awards
night, Workshops, Artistic Presentations,
Receptions, General Meetings, and Parties with an
uninterrupted supply of electricity.
