"Almost a honeymoon left the audience in stitches .The cast gave a sterling performance with Anna Mwalagho shining brightest as a seductive woman about town, ready to pounce on any man with anything snatchable" ......East African Standard Newspaper (KENYA)

"Besides ‘Bridegroom for sale’ of which her outstanding role left the audience wondering if she was really not married, Anna Mwalagho has been the girl about stage in rib-tickling productions like Willis Wallace’s 'Almost a honeymoon' where she jested into fame and glory with her bursting and powerful stage presence" ......The People Newspaper (KENYA)

"In her acting career, Anna has had to play quite a number of characters, but in essence she acts so well even portraying the bad characters as though she is really the one. In fact many a times her fans have been known to have gone back stage just to make sure that she is still in reality good person, Anna is very good in her other roles, a quality which led to her winning University Awards early this year" ......The Herald Newspaper (KENYA)

"I quickly learned that her quiet nature was camouflaging a fiery bundle of talent and a unique ability to take command of a stage, Our troupe is fortunate to have Anna as a participating member, although her artistic strengths are embedded in the theatrical / spoken word arena, she has aggressively taken the role of company dancer, her relentless effort to reach perfection is truly inspiring, no matter the challenge Anna Takes it on full throttle without acknowledging the fear of failure, she exhibits a driving passion for the arts that is a key ingredient for success. Her smile is infectious, she has the voice of a bird and a heart of a lion and audience take to her like a breath of fresh air, I’m honored to work with Anna, The Rest of the world is in for a treat" ......Michael Friend ;Artistic director and founder of Soul in motion players, Inc (USA)

"Ms Mwalagho is a talented and a wonderful individual, I have given feedback on her creative writing, she continues to write poetry which explores her feelings and views on life, I respect and admire her very much" ......E. Ethelbert Miller; Director African American Resource Center-Howard University (USA)

"Anna exudes personality and enthusiasm she carries with her an authentic breeze of Africa, which is most refreshing. She does not fear emotional depth" ......Retired Professor Vera Katz, Howard University department of theatre Arts (USA)


Much has been said about my acting of which has made me very proud and happy, Comments by both the media and audience go along way to improve my acting skills encourage me and also inspire and reassure me.

I never took any acting classes while growing up. I performed my first play at the age of sixteen years old in high school in 1993 and I made a lot of people cry for I was playing apart of a miserable and tortured maid, however I started acting at a very early age in elementary school or primary school, where I would dance and act for the whole class while the teacher was away and would always get my self into a lot of trouble.

A big part of being a marvelous actress comes from rehearsals and mastering or researching the role you play but also a huge part is the passion that one has in what they do, because many times after doing a play, people would ask me how I managed to do it so well or lose myself in the character but my answer would be "I do not know", because once I am on stage I forget myself and become that role and I guess it is just passion that is the major driving force.

I reach the climax of my acting when I attain that moment that only an actor or actress can relate to and of course the audience reaction on the character and the whole play by either clapping, cursing, crying or laughing go along way to highlight the fact that I am playing my part well and I mean very well, if one would ask why I love to act, I would say apart from wanting to lose myself in a moment the major part of it is because I love to entertain and make people laugh, and at the end of a play if I get a standing ovation then that goes to cement the whole thing and I thank God.
