History Silhouettez Theatre stemmed from Silhouettez In The Dark (SITD), originally an independent performance alliance founded by Fashola in 2008, alongside East 15 class mates Michelle D'Costa and Othilia Luiki. From 2010 additional performers/actors would eventually join the troop taking part in SITD projects. Overgrowing demand, lack of finance and hopes to pursue individual projects, led to SITD concluding indefinitely in 2012. Led by Fashola, various actors took part in one off performances across 2013-16. Keeping her fundamental writing style and with the support of Initiative.dkf, Fashola revitalised the concept developing it into a genre now identified as Silhouttez Theatre.
