Theatre lovers in Kenya have an opportunity learn the history of theatre and performing arts in the country by visiting the Cheche Gallery at the Kenya Cultural Centre.

At the exhibition — “Recall and Reflect: The Kenya National Theatre Across Time” — which started on December 15 last year and ends at the end of January, you will get the earliest pictures of the Kenya National Theatre, including those taken in 1952, when the then colonial governor Sir Evelyn Barring officiated over the official opening of the establishment, then an exclusively whites-only affair.
