Actors Monologue Challenge Takes Place Tonight At Club Sylk.

Last week I told you about The Actors Monologue Challenge and today is DDAY. The event is by Eddie Kimani prolific actor and radio presenter for Capital Fm among many other things. Entry is only 300 kshs.

The event’s bio hasn’t changed but incase you want a recap here goes. “This is a live stage event, where Kenyan actors showcase their skills in front of a live audience and industry professionals. Also, it’s the only show where the audience votes for their favorite performance.”

The 1st Actors Monologue Challenge, which took place on 29th January 2013 at Club Sylk was none other than Shirley Mungai. Carol Oywa and Chris Wangalwa were first and second runners’ up respectively and automatically qualified to take part in edition 2. That goes down tonight. Brian Ogola was the Audience Choice winner. 

Lemmi go ahead to explain how the night works so that should you attend, confusion will not linger. In ‘AUDIENCE CHOICE COMPETITION’, the first 8 actors who sign up the night of the show get 2:00 minutes to perform a monologue on stage in front of a panel of industry professionals.

The second and main category is called ‘THE CHAMPIONSHIP’. In this round, 16 people who qualified through pre-vetted process, are given 3 minutes to perform a monologue of their choice. They are encouraged to bring props and costumes that compliment their performance. The winner of this round is the champions and will have to defend their title in the next edition.

Who Can Participate you ask? Anyone over the age of 18. Application for entry will be closed once the cap is reached or if the window for application has closed, whichever comes first. The limit is always 16.
