About Me
I am Michael, an actor and director with great interest in theatre arts and short films. I started acting at aan early age and over the years I have really been transformed by drama and theatre in general.
For me, drama is an edutainment tool: it can both entertain and educate at the same time; and it is my belief that it should be used exactly like so. One without the other simply won't work especially in this current age and era where society is constantly bombarded with eye catchung media left, right and centre
My Business
Income comes from the revenue gotten when theatre items such as plays and monologues are staged. We charge a fee to the audjience who attend and also get some donations from our sponsors that goes a long way to help us cover our costs
Loan Proposal
The loan will be used on several fronts. It will serve to cater for start up costs for our upcoming show in July 2017.
10,000 kshs ($102) will cover transport costs for actors during rehearsals. This is so as actors are usually paid after they are done staging their shows and thus during rehearsals some may struggle to raise money to for example come for rehearsals.
15,000 kshs ($151) will be used for marketing. It makes no sense to stage a womderful show if you do not get people to watch it and hopefully educate them through it. We usually reach our crowd via social media, radio advertisements and email marketing. The money will thus be used to cover costs for the above mentioned expense items
