A most marvelous musical theatre experiment has been underway this past fortnight at The Elephant, the performing arts centre and artistic base of veteran musician Eric Wainaina and theatre producer Sheba Hirst.
The third edition of the NBO Musical Theatre Initiative Workshop is the brainchild of Eric, Sheba and dramaturg Roberta Levitow from the world-renowned Sundance Institute in Utah. As senior programme associate-international with Sundance, Roberta has worked with Eric in previous scriptwriting workshops for more than a decade.
