Welcome to African Theatre Resource Centre
The African Theatre Document and Resource Centre is hosted by CHIPAWO. It is an interactive internet-based site intended:
- to act as a source of information about theatre
- to provide African practitioners and researchers opportunities to share, advertise, access, buy and sell each other’s work
- to organise festivals, webinars and conferences
