CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
1.1      STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
A study of this kind is necessary at this time of our societal growth, when the theatre is finding its place. The theatre had been pushed aside with a wave of hand simply because people had over the years, conceived the erroneous idea that theatre is a place where immoral acts take place and a place where one can watch some useless but humorous displays after the business of the day. These impressions are very repugnant to the artists. These are ridiculous misconceptions borne out of neglect and outright ignorance of the importance of the theatre.
To disapprove these misconceptions, Greek theatre, historically was clearly inseparable from the social, economic, religious, cultural and political structures of the people. The chorus, spectators, the actors as well as the managers, were all sharing in a common act of devotion. Greek theatre clearly illustrates a direct relationship between the society and the theatre.
Theatre as a medium of transmission of culture mirrors our societal growth. It is primitively rooted in the numerous rituals and festivals that exist in many communities.
Ogwu-Ekpeye therefore, originated with the Ekpeye’s embodying their first preoccupations, their struggles, successes and setbacks. Through this, they play several roles in preparation for their victory and also organize a feast, which motivates a certain degree of planning. The study, in this regard, will lay emphasis on the impact of management on the development of Ogwu-Ekpeye festival which can rightly be called ‘traditional theatre’.
1.2      SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This work is a study of the impacts of management on the development of Ogwu-Ekpeye festival. It explains how the festival is managed, the impact of the management on its development, the problems managing the festival and the solution to the problems. It recommends how the festival can be further promoted.


1.3      JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
This work is justified because it is the first to examine the impact of management on the development of Ogwu-Ekpeye festival, the traditional institutions of the Ekpeye people. It examines the origin of the festival, its organizational/administrative structure, classification and functions or characteristics, and above all its managerial hierarchy, analysis, recommendations on the ways to enhance the celebration of the festival.
1.4      SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Apart from the purpose of fulfilling the academic aspiration of the writer, this study reaffirms the role of theatre management in building the nation through festivals. Readers have the opportunity to know more about the rich cultural heritage of the people of Ekpeye in Rivers State, it is also beneficial to the Ekpeye people whose culture is documented and analyzed. This work will also be a valuable document for researchers. To them, it can provide basic information on the Ekpeye people and also enhance further research on the people.
The researcher hopes that this research and its recommendations will serve as reference materials to all those who are interested in knowing about the impact of theatre management on the development of a festival.
1.5      LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This work is on the impact of theatre management and its development on Ogwu-Ekpeye festival. The main obstacles associated with this work include exaggerations by custodians, lack of adequate finance, limited time telescoping (description of past events as if they occur at the same time and place). Political distortion of facts also posed some limitations.
In addition to the above is the prevalent lack of data on the festival, in spite of these problems. However, the researcher was able to complete the work.
1.6      RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Most of the materials used in this research were collected from oral sources. This is because no comprehensive written work had been done on the history of Ogwu-Ekpeye festival especially on the management aspect of it. Other sources of information included written works and reviews by patrons of the festival. The research observed the Ogwu-Ekpeye festival and also watches some documentary films to get his facts. The data from these sources were analyzed top come to the conclusions drawn on the impact of the management on the festival. In earnest the study combines the historical, analytical and sociological research method to achieve its objectives.
