Budding Actress Wins 7000 Kshs, Acting Lessons And Directing Casting In Lies That Bind!
I have made sure you know about the Actors monologue challenge. I even told you how to sign up.
Well the second one took an unexpected turn, when the reigning queen not only won, but got herself directing casting in Lies that bind! The immensely talented Sharlyn ‘Shi’ Mungai, defended her title with a brilliant performance infront of the packed house. Actors Monologue challenge is organized by Capital Fm’s Eddie Kimani.
Sharlyn battled it out against 16 other actors, to go back home with the title she clinched in the first edition in January. On top of that, she was feted with a 7,000 Ksh cash prize, a professional photo portrait shoot, acting lessons from a leading acting coach, a complimentary ticket to the movie of her choice at IMAX theatres and the bragging rights to boot! Yes! The win also gave Sharlyn a direct casting into the TV hot series “LIES THAT BIND” which was confirmed by the shows producer Dorothy Ghettuba who was one of the judges. Shi who is also an amazing vozalist, has another talented sister who sings too. Read about Trina Mungai’s upcoming concert here.
Taking up the second and third place of the hotly contested main challenge was Veronica Waceke and Brian Ogolla. They both had been on the same stage in the inaugural edition, did not make any headway. They were voted for overwhelmingly, by the audience which determines the winner from 8 actors. The actors seeking to take part in this stage, register at the beginning of the show.
Congratulations to all of them, keep your eyes peeled for the next one in the near future. Read here on how to sign up.
