-longest running theatrical satire in Guyana to air nationwide from March 7–15
FAMED Guyanese production, the Link Show, will return once again, this time to television as GEMS Theatre Productions announced that the annual satirical production will air from March 7–15, 2026.
Recognised as the longest running theatre production in Guyana’s history, the Link Show was first staged at the National Cultural Centre in 1981. Since then, it has mounted 37 annual productions, becoming a staple on the local cultural calendar and drawing audiences year after year.
Over the decades, the production travelled across Guyana, from Charity to Corriverton and Linden, and also took its brand of sharp satire overseas to Canada, New York, New Jersey and Washington. Its popularity at the National Cultural Centre has surpassed that of any other show staged at the venue. Notably, Link Show 25 ran for 15 consecutive nights at the centre before heading to the outlying regions for an additional 10 performances.
The production has also served as a training ground for many of Guyana’s seasoned thespians, as well as emerging talents now seen on television, heard on radio, and performing on stage. The show was launched by The Theatre Company in 1981 under the direction of Ron Robinson (recently departed), Gem Madhoo- Nascimento, and Ian McDonald. Now, more than four decades later, the Link Show enters a new chapter.
On March 7, 8, 14 and 15, 2026, the production will air in one-hour segments on TVG28, NCN11, HGPTV65, ENET Channel 1, and Ignite Channel 6/ENET 6, at varying times between 17:00hrs and 22:00hrs.
GEMS Theatre Productions will produce the televised edition, directed by Gem Madhoo-Nascimento, with a team comprising Michael Ignatius, Mark Luke-Edwards, Sean Budnah, Rovindra Persaud, Brandon Singh, Simone Dowding, Le Tisha DaSilva, Tchaiko Rodney, Latiefa Agard, Marisa Morgan-Bonie, Amrita Koshall, Stephen Asif Mohamed, and Aliyah David.
Link Show 38 continues its legacy of entertainment and laughter, now bringing its signature satire into the comfort of homes across Guyana.
