Deslyn Williams Johnson, manager of the new state-of-the-art Nevis Performing Arts Center will cater for dance recitals, musicals, instrumentals, and dramatic performances, amongst various other activities.
?The first year of operation will be dedicated to developing the arts. We will be developing national dance groups, drama groups, children theater groups and so on,? Johnson said.
Even people who are interested in the technical aspects of the theater could be accommodated. ?we would try to send them on short training camps for lights, sound, and stage management.? she added.
Thousands attended the historic opening on Saturday, as the Center is the first of its kind in the region. The audience included Governor General HE Sir Cuthbert Sebastian, Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas and Premier Joseph Parry.
Speaking during the opening ceremony Premier Parry said ?This center will be of use to all performers who wish to excel themselves. It is a source that will hopefully inspire all local talent. The aim and objective must be to perform here. It must be clear that this center will not be a white elephant.?
?The Performing Arts Center is a dream come true for the people of Nevis. This is an investment and we will be seeing the positive benefits in the future,? he added.
