Audience left in stitches as children display their talent

By George Orido

In a display of budding talent, the audience was treated to captivating performance by early childhood development institutions.

Monday morning session was spared for the institutions. They impressed.

Brandy Awuor of Sony Sugar Nursery earned a standing ovation at the Kenya Schools and National Drama Festivals at Lenana School when she presented a solo verse, The Dot.

Hillarious taste

Announcers Akoko Okayo and Andrew Shikanda added to the hilarious taste of the afternoon with their witty and informative remarks.

Actors were interviewed on the interludes providing insights on their backgrounds and experience in the arts.

Mary Mwikali from Mary Mount Girls broke into tears during such interview on remembering how little support had come from parents and friends with regard to her acting.

She performed a solo verse, Jamboree, on Constitution implementation.

On Tuesday, the festival opens its doors for the family gala that will run until Wednesday, when winners will be announced.
