BAOTA to send theatre across the country

The Botswana Association of Theatre Activists (BAOTA) newly elected committee has vowed to push for the development of theatre to reach most parts of the country.

BAOTA public relations officer, Rebaone Moshabi has told Showbiz that the association has received complaints from members of the public that most of the theatre activities are concentrated in Gaborone.  He said that they complain very little has been happening in other parts of the country.
