National Theatre to Be Upgraded

It looks like the old structure of Uganda National Cultural Center (UNCC) popularly known as the National Theatre is set for a revamp.

We have learnt that the president has earmarked USD$ 100m to revamp the entertainment facility. The parliament, the Inspector General of Government and Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social development, have endorsed the move to develop the cultural structure which is seated on 13 acres of land.

The proposed plan, the facility is set to be transformed into a mega complex with a multimillion shopping mall, arcades, modern restaurants, bars, cinemas, Rest rooms, state of the art auditoriums and a six underground car parking.

The plans for the mega project will cost a whooping USD 100m (shs360b). The circular 28 storied complex will not affect the existing National Theatre building cultural and heritage center.

The new transformation will see the 57 year old heritage center transformed into a modern ultra-entertainment spot.
