National Theatre of Ghana
The National Theatre of Ghana opened in Accra, the capital of Ghana, in 1992. Its purpose is to spearhead the country's theatre movement by providing a multi-functional venue for concerts, dance, drama, and musical performances, as well as exhibitions and special events. In Ghana, theatre as an artistic form has existed for centuries in the traditional dramatic expressions of society, however, the National Theatre Movement was conceived around the time of Ghana's independence in 1957 to help remold the new nation's cultural identity.
