Their offices are located in a storey building behind Athi River main municipal market.

They do plays, singing including choir, comedy, fine art like drawings, caricatures and poetry.

They have produced a movie called, 'Soma' available in Dvd. They also getting ready for a show in Kitengela on 15th of this month.
