JSika Entertainment

You already know we live😍for African theatre. But we’re in World Cup season, and we know how to appreciate entertainment in all its forms. Congratulations to the Black Stars for an incredible performance against Panama! 🇬🇭⚽

It’s no secret that we love 😍African theatre over here. But last weekend we took a cinematic intermission at Silverbird Cinemas in Accra Mall.

Look, I know I’m late on this one. But when a film honors one of the greatest performers of all time, you make time. It was worth every single minute.

Was I singing and dancing in my seat? I mean…weren’t you? 🎤💃🏿

We did a thing, y’all! ✨
Today, we led a virtual playwriting workshop for arts Theatre Renaissance Cabaret Festival! Our brilliant participants joined us from across the continent. Hailing from Malawi, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Ghana.🌍

Now, full disclosure: the workshop started off a little wonky. We hit some technical difficulties and weren't even able to record the session. Look, we know theatre... but mastering virtual meeting logistics is a whole different story!

But once we got past the tech issues, we were on our ZOOM! We don’t want to brag, but let us boast a little. The workshop was two hours long, and NOT A SINGLE PERSON LEFT. That’s a win in our book! 🙌🏿

Still floating on the energy of these global creatives. Check out the images for a few of our favorite takeaways from the workshop.

Our mission is to make African theatre an essential part of your theatre experience. This June, we are presenting at two virtual theatre events for creatives. We’re making sure that the next generation of African artists has the tools and the foundation to create stories that we’re all thirsty for 🤤

JSika Entertainment was marked present! 🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏾‍♂️🎭

We recently caught "The Fifth Betrayal," the latest production from Wednesday Theatre, the National Theatre of Ghana’s initiative dedicated to uplifting emerging theatre professionals. Check out the play’s cast and crew.

Since 2018, Wednesday Theatre has featured productions the last Wednesday of every month. It is a launchpad for new plays. And we LOVE this artistic consistency and community ❤️💛💚

Have you experienced a theatre initiative quite like this where you’re from?

Spotted this banner at the National Theatre of Ghana. The quote reads: “When what you hear does not please your heart, you pretend that you are deaf.” (Does this resonate with you? Girl, you might have a problem 😅)

It’s a line from THE ALIEN KING by Dr. Mohammed ben Abdallah, a trailblazer for Ghanaian drama.

Connecting with African theatre and literature at the source hits differently. Definitely visit the National Theatre when you’re in Accra!
