The black carpet that took us back to 1930s
The National Theatre underwent a dramatic transformation. The black carpet extended from the entrance gate all the way to the theatre foyer, inviting guests on a visually striking journey.

Yenze Theatre Conservatoire broke the mold last Friday with a unique and elegant black carpet premiere for their production She Loves Me at the National Theatre. Unlike traditional red carpet affairs, Yenze's bold choice set the tone for an unforgettable evening.
The National Theatre underwent a dramatic transformation. The black carpet extended from the entrance gate all the way to the theatre foyer, inviting guests on a visually striking journey. As guests walked down the black carpet, they were greeted by a charming touch: a post office where they could leave a love letter for their special someone. This interactive element added a personal and heartwarming layer to the event.

On one side, a photo booth and a vintage book centrepiece beckoned and a classic 1930s Volkswagen Beetle, looking good in its old age with the license plate UYS 755, completed the beautiful scene.
This photo booth attracted more youths. A contrasting photo booth awaited closer to the theatre entrance. Featuring bold, lettering proclaiming "She Loves Me," it attracted a more senior crowd.

Guests were also treated to an array of snacks and beverages. This gave them a chance to interact and have selfie moments outside the theatre for about 40 minutes.
As the excitement built, there was a poetry recital. The poem about Kampala potholes left many laughing out loud, in an audience that had many KCCA officials.
