UNIVERSITY OF SIERRA LEONE THEATRE GROUP
WHO WE ARE
The University of Sierra Leone Theatre Group is currently the most recognized and celebrated
theatre group in the Republic of Sierra Leone, West Africa that comprises the
three constituent colleges of University of Sierra Leone: Fourah Bay College
(FBC), Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM) and College of
Medicine and Allied Health Sciences (COMAHS) formed to nurture students
creative thinking and performance with the aim of “edu-taining” its audience on various topical issues
nationwide and globally. We believe theatre is an instrument that gives
every society the opportunity to interpret its problems and render positive
transformation. Over the years, we have successfully staged numerous plays for
well recognized and established institutions within Sierra Leone on different
important themes.
The organization was established on the 10th
February, 2020 by Dr. Fatmatta Taqi, Director of Academic & Career Advisory, Counseling and Student
Complaints at the University of Sierra Leone and lecturer in the Department of
Language Studies and the Institute of Gender Research & Documentation at
Fourah Bay College.
Our organization has worked with different individuals, civil societies and state institutions raising national awareness through community theatre [live stage performance], radio and TV talk shows, skits, jingles. short video productions that stimulate national peace and cohesion; our members are impacted with theatrical training, script writing and directing.
