Helen O'Grady drama students feature in YOTV's Yo Hambo show on SABC 1!

Good friends, Ryan Naamdhew and Zithobe Hlongwane  from our  Kensington class had the time of their lives when YOTV took them rock climbing and filmed their amazing experience. The  show will be screened on Monday 5th August on SABC1 at 3.00pm .They will also be doing a live interview and then introduce the episode themselves. We  wish them all the luck!

Ryan was originally interviewed by YOTV at the drama class in Kensington which is held at The Kensington Tennis and Bowling club, Ivanhoe street, Kensington  on Thursdays. Drama is Ryan's passion and during his interview he was asked how the Helen O'Grady drama programme had benefitted him and what was so special about it ! His interview and some of the drama lesson were then shown on an episode of Yo Hambo earlier this year. Ryan and Zithobe have developed a really good friendship since attending the academy and they have been coming for years. They are both very talented actors and are part of our casting agency , Take10. Zithobe has been on quite  a few TV adverts, featured in the TV series "The Wild" and Leon Schusters "Boeti and the Beast."
