Renowned Ghanaian actor, Adjetey Anang
Renowned Ghanaian actor Adjetey Anang has expressed optimism about the progress of Ghana’s theatre industry, stating that the efforts of theatre stakeholders are finally “bearing fruits.”
Speaking in an interview with Hitz FM at the launch of Ghana Must Go, an upcoming theatre production by Latif Abubakar’s Globe Productions, Anang noted the growth of the theatre arts industry over the years but called for more audience support and corporate involvement to drive the industry forward.
“It’s a relief because we’ve always yearned for this. We worked tirelessly over the years, and we are beginning to see that it’s bearing fruit now. The only thing is that we still can’t do it alone. That’s why we have partnerships with our audiences who continually patronise our projects and products,” Anang stated.
He called on corporate entities and stakeholders to collaborate with the creative arts sector, noting that such partnerships are crucial for the industry’s advancement.
“We’re also reaching out to the corporate spaces and all stakeholders to come on board. There are many things that we can do together. It’s relieving and exciting to know that the next phase will see even bigger things happening. So let’s all join hands and make this work,” he added.
Anang also called for unity among creatives, urging his colleagues to foster collaboration and mutual respect within the industry.
“It starts with us, doesn’t it? How we relate to one another, how we hold each other in high esteem, it’s so crucial. When it starts at home, the world looks at us and says, ‘these people are one.’ A united front, even when we have differences, we don’t wash our dirty linen in public,” he remarked.
Ghana Must Go is the 20th theatre production by Globe Productions and is set to tour globally, showcasing Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and promoting investment opportunities.
The play is produced in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as part of the Black Star Experience under the Government of Ghana’s Big Push Ghana Project.
