The Little Theatre Movement(LTM) has the distinction of being Jamaica’s longest functioning theatre company of contemporary times. However, long before Henry & Greta Fowler, Ms. Lou, Maas Ranny and so many others, there was theatre of some kind on the Island.

So, in keeping with the enlightenment part of our passion, this week we will learn about the theatres, the entertainers, as also the environment and conditions under which they performed as early as 1853. We discovered some interesting facts to ‘labrish’ about early‘Theatre’ in Jamaica we are sure you will find interesting.

If you or someone you know have memories to share, be sure to join the Labrish at 8:00PM Wed. 1/11/12in the Backyard  where we, Celebrate, Enlighten, & Preserve the rich diverse culture of: Jamaica‘Land We Love’.
