Ajoka Children’s Acting Camp gave an impressive and endearing performance of Shahid Nadeem’s short play “The Last Tree” last week at Ajoka premises in Lahore. The short play was about the importance of trees for the environment, seen from the perspective of a young child Gudoo. The five-day Acting Camp consisted of children between ages 6-11 who practiced their acting skills under the mentorship of Ajoka Institute’s director Nirvaan Nadeem, assisted by Yusra Irfan and Luke Kelvin. The open air performance was attended by a select audience of parents and Ajoka members and will be posted on social media soon. The children were awarded certificates by Ajoka Chairperson Zara Salman.
