a wide range of programs and services that cater to performers, writers, directors, and theatre enthusiasts.

Annual Production

The annual theatre production, held in the second half of each year, features a single play carefully chosen from the pool of works created by our Mid-career and Established Playwrights Residency participants.

Community Theatre

After conducting extensive research within the Kamwokya Community, we discovered a drama group known as KTLC Angels. Our emerging artists are collaborating with this group to craft theatrical pieces, primarily focusing on improv theatre and skits.
