There are two plays in rehearsal at the Kuwait Little Theater (KLT) this month. The KLT Show Choir, 'Vocal Rhapsody' launches us into 2012 with "Love Story" next week (February 14th - 17th at 7.30pm), and then the classic comedy 'Arsenic and Old Lace' opens on March 7th for a three night run.
If you are itching to get involved then there are opportunities galore! The Arsenic team are looking for crew to help out on their show. Whatever skills you may possess the most important one is enthusiasm - though seamstresses and make up ladies (or gents) are exceedingly welcome. Please click HERE to contact the director, Annike Jones, and volunteer - or to find out more. Operation Hope are running the refreshments in the diwaniya area at the Winter Fayre taking place in Sadu House this Saturday. If you would like to donate some baked goods to this amazing group of people for them to sell on Saturday please contact: [email protected] or 9937-5613. All proceeds will go to help the less fortunate in our community. We are all aware of how harsh the Kuwaiti winter season can be-- especially on the laborers working outdoors throughout this time. Operation HOPE has warmly clothed 20,000 needy men, women and children, helped repatriate the less opportune, given medical help and provided rations for needy families since 2005 through the support of individuals and local communities. God bless them all & please spread the word or RT! :)
