"ALL WE LEAVE BEHIND IS A FORM OF ART"
Mohammed Ali Ojarigi
founder/artistic director of the MOments Playhouse Theatre
As a craftsman, I understand the importance of my artistry. My mind, body and spirit must be fully activated in order to produce truth as an actor, poet and coach.

MEANING BEHIND OUR MOTHERLAND MASK LOGO
When you think of the preforming arts, the most associated symbol is the comedy and tragedy drama masks. The term drama comes from a Greek word meaning "action" which is derived from the verb meaning "to act". Since Africa is where civilization began it's only fitting that we pay homage to our ancestors. The African mask often represents a spirit and is strongly believed that the spirit of the ancestors possesses the wearer. The three faces on our mask represent the complex multidimensional sides of the human species (Personal, Private, and Professional).
