The National Troupe of Nigeria (NTN) is set to stage a play, “Echoes of The Drums”, centred around the need to embrace love, unity and explore the nation’s cultural diversities.

Mohammed Ahmed, the Chief Executive Officer of the agency, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

Ahmed said that by staging “Echoes of the Drums”, NTN would be lending a voice of contribution to peace, brotherliness, and love within the diverse cultures and ethnicity in Nigeria.

“The National Troupe of Nigeria is set to stage “Echoes of the Drums”, a stage play written by Ola Awakan and directed by Mike Anyanwu.

“The play, which explores themes of unity, love, and diversity, utilises drum instrumentation in storytelling to drive home relevant and timely messages at this dire moment in our political, cultural, and ethnocentric landscapes.

“Echoes of the Drums is to be staged on Thursday, September 29th, 2022 at the MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos, and it is open to the general public,” he said.

According to him, the play will provide over 500 employment opportunities by engaging the teeming youths within the theatre and, by extension, the creative industry.
