Renowned playwright and CEO of Roverman Productions, Uncle Ebo Whyte has announced that starting next quarter, the prices for his shows will cost a bit more.
He made this statement on the opening night of his latest play, Final Warning.
Uncle Ebo made the announcement saying: “The price of our tickets have been GH¢80 for about 4 years now, and we think it’s about time we pushed it up a bit to GH¢100.”
According to the playwright, the cost of production for his plays have increased marginally, hence necessitating the increase in ticket prices as well.
“With the recent cost in production, we were faced with two options, either increase our prices or go out of business and we decided to increase it.
“First, an advert for our show was a GH¢100, now we are paying about GH¢900. The National Theatre was also being rented for GH¢3,000 but now we pay close to GH¢9,000. You will agree this increase is long overdue.
“We are however hopeful you won’t stop coming to our shows,” he concluded.
Roverman Productions stages a new play every quarter and crowns the year with a Festival of Plays in December.
Owing to the new ticket prices, it is safe to say, early bird tickets will also now move from GH¢60 to GH¢80.
