Legendary Chief Hubert Ogunde  

Here is a rare document on the business model put in place by Hubert Ogunde,(1916 -1990.) A Nigerian playwright, actor, theatre manager, and musician, who was a pioneer in the field of Nigerian folk opera (drama in which music and dancing play a significant role). He was the founder of the Ogunde Concert Party (1945), the first contemporary professional theatrical company in Nigeria. Often regarded as the father of Nigerian theatre, Ogunde sought to reawaken interest in his country’s indigenous culture. In his career on stage, he wrote more than 50 plays, most of which he incorporates dramatic actions, dance, music and with a story reflecting the political and social realities of the period. #Africa #Nigeria #World
