Story
UTOPIA BAOBAB PROJECT
Build the creative future of African Theatre!
Join the collective investment into the future of African and African diaspora theatre. With your donation, we will give a group of gifted African playwrights a life and career changing experience, giving them a chance to shine and break into the creative industry.
Storytelling is at the heart of any theatre production, film, tv documentary, radio show and even video games. We want to address the lack of African voices in the culture and media space.
With your donation an experienced team will support the development of three new plays for staging at a professional venue and publicise them further by publishing a book!
Commissioning and producing more work by African artists is vital.
Let’s make the lost stories, lost dreams and the lost history – matter.
Be a part of the change!

We owe it to ourselves and future generations of African/black creatives to fight for an equal voice and egalitarian representation. This is one of the initiatives to ensure our continuity.
