Award winning actor and director James Ngcobo has joined the Joburg City Theatre as an artistic director, leaving the Market Theatre Foundation after nine years.
JOHANNESBURG - Joburg City Theatre artistic director James Ngcobo believes that creating excellent theatre is the only way to get people out of their homes to watch live plays once more, and getting the best content creators to sync the realities if the audiences with the art space.
“I have been working with my new team to find out what content is being put out there and who are its audience, but nothing will sway people to come in more than excellence as theatre is meant to be in sync with what is happening in the country and work in a way that is cognisant of reflecting people’s lives.”
