First Dawn.

Sterling Quality Entertainment Company Ltd. is proud to introduce to you “Plays Direct”, our new unique straight play entertainment brand created and produced to deliver quality plays from different parts of the world. The slogan for Plays Direct is “Life On Stage” signifying the brands principal aim of bringing on stage the lives and experience of different peoples from across the world, in a creative way without compromising their integrity. 

We are proud to present to you our first straight play under our new Plays Direct brand, entitled First Dawn, written by Mona Ombogo-Scott. Set in present day Africa, the story highlights on the constant conflict and dilemma each of us face in our search for our identity. It is a call for us to embrace everything we are and everything we were and everything we have the potential to be without apology. It is a call for each of us who is able, to reach out and lend a hand to our brothers in need. It is a call to return to our past that we might see more clearly our future. The First Dawn is an analogy of us, the African child. 

The show will be staged on the 27th, 28th and 29th of July 2007 at the Alliance Française. The Friday 27th show will be at 7 p.m., while the Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th shows will be at 3 p.m.  Tickets are available at the door at KShs. 300 per show..

Personality Feature on Mona Ombogo Scott

At 28, I always dreamed I would have won my first Oscar for Best Original Screenplay - ambitious and perhaps a tad arrogant.  Truth is, I’m just passionate about my writing and consequently have high expectations.  If you are now waiting for several accolades of achievement, I guess I’ll have to disappoint you.  There is no glamour (yet) or pomp in my journey as a writer.  There is honesty and learning and immense growth.  Perhaps that is why most of my work is about change and self discovery, because I believe this world is a classroom and each day we live well, is a slow but constant graduation into a higher level and higher plane of existence.

I was told to write a little bit about myself, and I guess that is it.  In a nutshell, I am a seeker of truth and meaning in this tapestry we call life and I attempt to use art to convey thoughts, ideas and suggestions.  I pray that as you watch or read this play, you too are inspired into self searching and self growth.
