The Link Show is celebrating its 30th production during its current run for the year 2014. This annual satirical revue directed by Ron Robinson and produced by Gem Madhoo-Nascimento may be considered a major achievement for many reasons. It was founded in 1981 by The Theatre Company and continues now as a joint production of that company with GEMS Theatre Productions.
It has survived (and has been reinvigorated) with the same leading personalities who started both the Link Show and The Theatre Company – Robinson and Madhoo, with Ian McDonald at that time as the third member of the directorate. McDonald, a leading Guyanese poet, wrote the lyrics for the show’s theme song ‘Stand Up Stand Up and Say It Is So.’
