The Renaissance



THE THEATRE OF DREAMS

Dreams can come true. The most incredible thing happened 2 days ago. Wole Oguntokun had a meeting with the C.E.O. of Terra Kulture, Bolanle Austyn-Peters, and at the end of the discussion, she had given Terra's Hall where The Soyinka Season is being held, for free every Sunday, ad infinitum.

This means the biggest impediment to theatre production in Lagos has been removed with one magnificent gesture.

Many drama production companies have sweated blood and tears to take theatre as far as it has come but the impossible conditions in which we produced major theatre dwindled the ranks until there was just a handful left... and then one or two.
But we have a home now...and in a major Arts Venue located in the heart of one of the most secure areas of Lagos. (The things that matter to a paying audience).
Basically, Bolanle's given theatre a lifeline.There'll be space for other directors, room for profit sharing and invitations to those who can improve the work here.

Theatre has a new direction in Nigeria now. We have a home.
Thank you, Bolanle. Words aren't enough to express gratitude.
