2016: Mataha Was Born

Happy New Year 2017 from Mataha Theatre Productions! A brief history about Mataha:


Wherever an SP Timu Kubwa goes, theatre goes with them. That was the slogan we had back at the University of Nairobi. Well, for those who do not know what SPTimuKubwa is, let me give you the details. I schooled at the University of Nairobi where I did a BSC (Statistics) degree. However, I spent my better part of school acting and writing. We had a theatre group at the Saint Paul's University Chapel. And since we were the largest theatre group at the university at the time, we called ourselves: Timu Kubwa. And since we were part of St. Pauls, SP seemed to be the best acronym. So SPTimu Kubwa was coined that way.


We were under the able directorship of one crazy Kisii guy by the name Dominic Oyori, whom I still revere for his tireless efforts towards the group. After he completed college in 2013, he left the group under a Cosmas Kiruki who was the best chairman that I ever saw. I was the Cast Director and was in-charge of a creative team that wrote scripts, poems, songs and then directed it. Those were the best moments in college.

Well, after college, here I am at Mburoti (in Limuru). With a friend, Alex Thuku, we have started a group called Mataha Theatre Productions. We do entertainment in weddings, graduation ceremonies, birthdays, ngurarios, anything. But we do not entertain in burials. Who does that anyway. Here are our photos under Mataha Theatre Productions.
