Notes to Contributors
National Theatre Monograph Series is for dedicated research in Theatre practice, Arts, Culture, Tourism, Theatre Technology, etc. Contributions in any of these areas should connect the National Theatre to our national life and the economy; proffer workable suggestions on how the National Theatre can make impactful contributions to the Nigerian economy, culture and social bearing. Locate a lucrative space for our youth, women and children in all of these. Above all, proffer how the National Theatre can help to
- a) build a thriving and sustainable economy; b) enhance social inclusion to reduce poverty; and c) function as a tool for cultural diplomacy. National Theatre should be deconstructed as just an edifice for hosting events and tourist attractions, but given wheels and mobility to connect with the nooks and crannies of Nigeria and the world.
