The Kenya Theatre Awards 2026 nominees were unveiled at the Kenya National Theatre, with categories reduced to 29 as the industry gears up for the February 26 ceremony.
The new Best Casting award will recognise casting directors for their role in selecting performers who bring films to life.
JSC will now forward the list of successful candidates to President William Ruto for formal appointment.
The list of those to be honoured is populated by lawmakers, some who have had run-ins with the law.
Among the nominees are senators, MPs, and parliamentary staff recommended for recognition under different categories.
