The National Theatre of Ghana came alive with excitement, music, and cultural celebration on May 10, 2026, as it hosted a memorable Mother’s Day Special Concert Party in collaboration with Media General and Onua TV.
The event brought together mothers, families, entertainment lovers, stakeholders in the creative arts industry, SHS students, and distinguished guests, including the Minister for Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie, to celebrate mothers for their love, sacrifices, and invaluable contributions to society.
The programme also formed part of a government initiative under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts to revive Ghana’s cherished Concert Party tradition, a platform that once played a significant role in promoting local theatre, music, comedy, and cultural storytelling while creating employment opportunities for many Ghanaian artistes.
Patrons enjoyed a variety of family-oriented activities, including photo sessions, pedicure and manicure experiences, creating a warm and festive atmosphere for mothers and their loved ones.
As the evening progressed, the Concert Party segment took centre stage with thrilling performances featuring music, comedy, drama, and cultural displays that reflected Ghana’s rich artistic heritage.
A major highlight of the evening was the outstanding performances by celebrated gospel artistes Celestine Donkor and Philipa Baafi, whose inspiring songs energised the audience and created moments of worship, joy, and celebration.
Patrons were also refreshed with assorted beverages, while mothers and selected guests received gift items as part of the celebration. The gift items were sponsored by Promasidor, Twellium Industrial, and Accra Brewery PLC
Another touching moment was the special “Onua Showtime with Nana Ama McBrown” segment, where mothers were honoured and celebrated for their dedication and resilience. Emotional and inspiring stories shared by participants created memorable moments that resonated deeply with the audience.
Management of the National Theatre of Ghana expressed appreciation to Media General and Onua TV for the successful collaboration and reaffirmed the Theatre’s commitment to promoting Ghanaian arts and culture through impactful programmes and partnerships.
The successful event once again demonstrated the power of arts and culture in bringing people together and preserving Ghana’s cultural identity.
The Theatre therefore called on corporate organisations, institutions, philanthropists, and the general public to support and sponsor future editions of the Concert Party revival initiative to sustain the growth of Ghana’s creative arts industry and cultural tour
