This is my first time hearing of the Kenya theater awards, and I will definitely be looking more into this award show because I love seeing talent from across the world. It’s so amazing to see how individuals culture influences the way in which they reenact theater, and how that contrast the way in which we do so in America. I clicked on this article because I was interested in looking at the winners of these awards. So that I may conduct my own research on them and get a deeper insight. on the various talent listed. Which is why I am so happy they linked the award show at the bottom of the article, so that is very accessible. Additionally, I am very interested in the new launch of another award show they are producing that will be the “umbrella” of all awards! Combining music, theater, sports, film, and more will be such a huge task to accomplish, but I am very excited to see where they take it!
