Outstanding Acting

Congratulations to the cast of Kesho Amahoro. During yesterday's rehearsal, the adults in the audience were amazed at how well you stayed in character and by the passion and pain in your eyes. I'm very proud of you all. This is a very encouraging start to our first few weeks of rehearsals. I am very much looking forward to many more wonderful rehearsals.
