Lylah Persad's Summary

I work with Purpose... I CREATE from myself.... whether it's writing and directing a drama production or producing an opening for a fashion show or any sort of cooperate advertising and event planning... whatever the job is, it requires the same level of excellence and ORIGINALITY.

I write original scripts for any function!!!

My drama / elocution workshops aim to build more positive and confident individuals. We keep LEARNING from each other.... Everyone comes with baggage and special talents.. It's a good idea to understand both and be able to use them for a more Positive purpose and outcome.

EVERY job is necessary... however small it may "seem“ even if you have to be the garbage pickerupper-er or 'clean up after people' job it's necessary and important.

I strongly believe in the power of human interaction, a high level of professionalism and an endless pursuit of success.

To date I have, and am working alongside just about every theatre company in Trinidad as either writer / actress / director and as and Independent Creative Director... and MANY Cooperate companies either writing and directing or writing and performing.

Anything is possible. Just Believe in Yourself!! This Life is YOUR'S!! :)

Live. Learn. Grow. Pass on. Move Forward.Your Life. Your Power. Your Choice. ;)
