Dehkontee Artists Theatre, Inc. (DATI) Turns 50 in 2027!

Fifty years is a half-century milestone—and for the past 50 years, DATI has been at the vanguard of promoting national consciousness, unity, and cultural awareness. Through dance, music, drama, literacy, and human rights advocacy, we have proudly highlighted Liberian culture and history on the international stage.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our family, friends, and supporters who have stood by us over the decades.

Support Our Next Chapter: The School of the Performing and Visual Arts To celebrate this golden jubilee, DATI invites all arts lovers to support our fundraiser to construct the School of the Performing and Visual Arts in Liberia. Funds raised will directly support the purchase of land and our upcoming groundbreaking ceremonies in March 2027.

Commemorative 50th Anniversary Souvenir Calendar This June, we are printing a special DATI 50th Anniversary Souvenir Calendar featuring historic photographs from our 50-year journey.
