I hope you and yours are doing well. I've been doing fantastic and loving every moment of Summer 2014, thanks be to God! As I had alluded in a previous post, exactly a month from today I'll be starring in the classic Sierra Leonean stage play, Cry of the Country Virgin. Growing up in Sierra Leone and Nigeria, I was very involved in Drama Club and I did a lot of acting and singing, as well as dancing performances and competitions for my schools. I have fond memories of performing at British Council in Freetown representing my Alma Mater The Murraydeen Preparatory School and performing for large audiences. Living in the United States for over the past decade, I got re-involved into theater again through playwright, actor, and director David Buakei Vandy. My first stage play in the US was Let Me Die Alone: The Life and Times of Madam Yoko in June 2011. Fast forward three years later, I'm working with him again as the lead character, named Matorma, in the upcoming production of Cry of the Country Virgin written by Syl Johnson. In addition to acting, I'll be singing and dancing; I'm also learning Mende for some of the dialogue and all the songs. Myself, entire cast, and production team are working very hard to give all of you a phenomenal show, so please be there to support us and open your hearts to be moved by the play's powerful message.
