Liezer-Legazy: The face of theater performance in Kumasi

Saddled with many challenges like lack of theatre-friendly auditoriums, high production cost, lack of trained actors and technical personnel in the face of low patronage, many people shy away from investing in theatre.

Despite such disincentives, Liezer-Legacy, a theatre production company, is blazing a trail to establish strong roots for the arts and creative industry in the Ashanti Region.

Chief Executive Officer and Director, Louis Lamis, says the company is determined to constantly give the good people of Kumasi something to remember.

He says Liezer-Legacy would have contributed significantly to helping residents and other patrons to relieve themselves of corporate and family life pressure.

The company’s theatrical works give prominence but not limited to love, life choices, family values, relationship and testimonies of God’s redeeming power.

For about ten years, Liezer Legacy has thrilled its patrons to some classic, thought-provoking and exhilarating performances.

They include The Switch, When Lust Kisses, Love, Grumpy Graham 1 and 2, The Surprise Party, Love Laugh and, most recently, the Prince of Egypt.

Even though the company is still at its formative stages of growth, it has offered training and employment to many youth with interest and passion for acting.

The award-winning actor, Michael Attram Tetteh is a proud beneficially of the training.

In its quest to help people discover their potentials and reduce unemployment, the company has lined up a series of activity for 2016 to train and employ more youth.

The annual four-week acting clinic creates opportunity for both adults and children.

Ahead of the upcoming November 7 polls, Liezer-Legacy is taking up a new project known as the Street Theatre to enhance democracy by promoting peace, tolerance and unity.

Besides regular stage production, the theatre company excites radio listeners with the P.M. Show live weekly performances on Luv 99.5 F.M. every Thursday evening and Agro Mmere on Nhyira 104.5 FM on Saturdays.

Featuring the likes of Nana Gyasi Owusu (NGO or Dr. Dompeti ) Richmond Amoako(Intimination) Elizabeth Frances Aba Tandoh, Michelle Ankrah Pambour, Daniel Nii Odoi Tutuani and Loretta Timah(Tinanapanpana), the group can move the most tensed up person into rib-cracking laughter any moment.

The next time you are in Kumasi, make a date with the group on the two Multimedia Group platforms on the respective days and have a feel of the stuff Liezer-Legacy is made off.
