NAMASAGALI PRODUCTION A SUCCESS!!


Me & some of the Cast members 
So the Namasagali Old Students' Association (NOSA) production "THE HAPPY LIFE HOTEL" ended on a beautiful note on Sunday 24th June 2012. It was a fun weekend as we went on stage with poise and the moment we got off, run backstage to change into the next costume for the next scene as quickly as possible, sometimes almost colliding with each other. Hilarious sight if you ask me.
Florence Oteba being made up as Maria
I acted the role of Miss Maria on 23rd June Saturday evening and 24th Sunday evening. Another old student of Namasagali, Florence Oteba, acted on Friday evening and Sunday afternoon. By the way, most people tell us we look like sisters. :)When I was not acting, I would dance.
The turn up was not disappointing either and the audience was quite engrossed in the play too that it made it all the more enjoyable.
Miria Matembe
The finale on Sunday evening had politician Miria Matembe (former Minister of Ethics & Integrity) as the Guest of honour--yes, she is an Old Girl of Namasagali College. She came up with Father Grimes at the end of the play to give a speech and it was quite humorous as she shared her first day at the school years ago. 
If you missed out, it's so sad but come next time. ;)

There might be another production towards the end of this year... if all goes well. Hope I see you there then.
A big thank you to The Observer, New Vision, Daily Monitor, Radiocity 97fm, and Moses Serugo of www.kampalaone.com  for their support & coverage. Strive Regardless.... :)
Below are links to some articles written about the play.
