Babushe wish is that the world could come to Kenya to experience her rich art and culture, even as he dreams of opening an Arts City. The film actor and trainer comes here to reflect on his quest to learn culture and build on his ideas.
To many, this is a tourism destination where people arrive in droves for adventure and history. For Babushe, being here is a lifestyle. He calls it home.
His escapades lead us to the iconic Sleeping Warrior safari destination on the Soysambu Conservancy, then to the Lake Elementaita Hot Spring.

Summary
Kenyan theatre, just like most aspects of the performing arts, came to a grinding halt over the past year when the Covid-19 pandemic locked down most folks in their private abodes.
Granted a few groups tried to meet over Zoom, but that never could compare to the ensemble experience of acting and working with others on stage.
But a significant sign that the art’s world is opening up in a remarkable way is the long-overdue reunion of the Mbalemwezi Players.

Papa Shirandula actor Kenneth Gichoya, popularly known to many as Njoro, has opened up about his past life, and how he used to sell sweets at the Kenya National Theatre.
Speaking on Churchill's journey series, Njoro disclosed that he preferred hawking sweets because he could make more money than thespians who had secured acting roles.
To gain entry into the theatre, he would ask the producers to give him a role, as an extra, and would not demand payment for the service.
