Service – Fringe Festival Ushering

On Thursday 23 February, the ISK drama department had organized the Fringe Festival. This was a collection of short plays written by individual drama students which were performed on two separate nights. The two nights were the 23^rd and 24^th of February from 6.30 to 8pm with an entrance fee of 100 ksh. Artsco was asked to help with the event by ushering and managing the individual plays. I heard about this opportunity which led to me to helping artsco during the event. The festival was organized by Ms. Hargreaves and told the volunteering ushers what to do during the event. We were led around the school and were shown all the different locations of the plays. The volunteer turn-up was quite big leading to me being assigned with the role to walk around school and redirect lost people to the plays. We were also allowed to watch the plays while at the same time managing who went in and out during the plays. Having talked to the attending people, they found that the plays were extremely well done, thus making the night an overall success.
