Award-winning actress and dancer Nathaya Whaul, who currently plays the benevolent character Susan in the hilarious and intriguing “Days Like Dese” television sitcom, has been in the entertainment industry since 2005.
The actress shared that although she began dancing at the age of four, she was never fascinated with theatre, except for being in the audience. However, that all changed in 2005, when she accompanied a friend who was signing up for a course in theatre arts. Nathaya recalled sitting in the audience while two of Guyana’s seasoned actors: Henry Rodney and Jennifer Thomas, did a skit. She enjoyed it so much that she was inspired to get involved.
The next year, following Carifesta, she said, Jennifer called inviting her to join the Theatre Guild and she did. It was one of the best decisions she has made, she said, as it has moulded her to be more disciplined and courageous.
