Addressing a section of Ghanaians in a short ceremony to launch the partnership, Executive Director of the Ghana National Theatre Board, Amy Frimpong described the partnership as an opportune time for the needs of Concert Party fans to be fulfilled.
“In recent times I have heard Ghanaians lament on the loss of their beloved Concert Party which means our audiences have been yearning for Concert Party from the past.
“Artistes are yearning for work to do and engage their communities with media houses yearning to fulfill the local content law; National Theatre is committed to reach every Ghanaian regardless of location,” she said.
Board Chairman of the National Theatre, Nana Fredua-Agyeman Ofori-Atta added that the partnership with the Multimedia Group was a rebranding of the Concert Party from the past to reach a larger audience within a wider coverage.
