About

Stage Africa is a community for people in the performing arts — the performers, and the many people who make performance happen, at every level from first steps to full-time practice.

We are practice-centred: a place to learn the craft, find your people, and keep track of the industry, with a directory of the performing and entertainment world, an events listing, and a steady flow of writing.

The site is in beta and still being built. If you are here early, thank you — you are helping shape it.

There is also the curtain — a full screen of nothing but our logo on a slowly drifting field of colour, with the settings there for you to play with.
