The event is set to be held on May 22 at St Christopher’s Primary School Charles Klein Hall in Gwanda town.

Organisers, Gwanda-based arts organisation T.I.M.E project director Adrian “Drivo” Musa said the event is part of a raft of activities they have set in celebration of Culture Month.

“As we celebrate Culture Month, we have decided to fuse a number of theatre activities for the day-long programme. We’ll have a practical theatre skills training workshop facilitated by Zimbabwe Theatre Academy, which happens to be one of our strategic partners.
