Wambui Bahati Photo Show Memories
Over the years and countless performances, I’ve lost many photos along the way. I often forget to capture pictures of my shows and events until they’re already over. While I love taking selfies with audience members, I rarely end up with photos for myself. Most of my show memories live in my head and heart.
Note:
Wambui's original Actors' Equity Association name was John-Ann Washington (her original birth name). She worked under this name (John-Ann Washington) during the earlier productions.
