In this series, I want to look at Joseph Gbaba not only as a playwright, actor, and educator, but as one of those Liberians who helped keep our stories alive. But before the books, before Dehkontee Artists Theatre, and before the audiences that would come to know his work, there was a young Liberian whose journey began far from the spotlight.
As we celebrate this special moment, DATI remains focused on expanding its reach, strengthening partnerships, and continuing its mission of inspiring change through art and culture.
Through stage performances, storytelling, workshops, and community outreach, DATI continues to bring people together while addressing important social issues. Every performance reflects a message of hope, peace, and empowerment.
This celebration would not be possible without the dedication of our team, the support of our partners, and the encouragement of our community. Together, we continue to build a legacy of impact through creativity and collaboration.
