Mrs. Anita Addo -Tara
About Me:
I am a product of University of Ghana and University of Cape Coast where I obtained MPhil in Theatre Criticism and B.A Theatre Studies. I also hold a Diploma in Journalism and Research from Jayee University College.
I have worked with a number of organisations including the Organisation for Cultural Exchange Programme (OCEP). There I served as the organisation’s National Coordinator responsible for the welfare of volunteers nationwide. I have also worked with the National Theatre and World Vision International. Thanks to those experiences, I gained a lot of practical experience and developed great analytical skills. Working with the University of Cape Coast as a Senior Research Assistant enabled me to gain active participation in academics and great communication skills which enables me to handle complex and diverse problems.
Qualifications:
- MPHIL Theatre Criticism – University of Ghana (2013)
- B.A. Theatre Studies – University of Cape Coast (2010)
Professional Memberships and Activities:

Research Interests:
African Theories of Drama, Folklore, Colonisation.
My fascination with colonisation led me on a search for an authentic Ghanaian Theatre. One that is deeply rooted in the culture and heritage of Ghanaians. Authentically, one that can be identified and construed as uniquely Ghanaian.
