The founder of Ebonies drama actors Mr.Sam Bagenda alias Dr.Bbosa has tasked parents to encourage their children to join music, dance and drama saying it’s one of the ways of promoting talent among young people.

He made his appeal at Mbuya Parents’ school while officiating the school’s annual music, Dance and Drama (MDD) Production held at the International University of East Africa in Kansanga.

The event was attended by several parents, educators and invited guests who were entertained with a lively exhibition of poetry, drama, multi-cultural dances and live music.

Similarly, learners showcased a variety of plays exploring themes of leadership, humility, morality and spirituality, in addition to showcasing both creativity and thoughtful story telling.
