Look Twice it’s Your Wife
On 31 st May – 3 rd June 2018, the Acting Studio at the University of Trinidad and Tobago
(UTT), Academy for the Performing Arts (APA) presented ‘Look Twice It’s Your Wife’
as part of APAFest 2018; a culmination of the best of the Music, Dance and Acting Depart-
ments at the Academy. Starring Narad Mahabir as Mootilal; Bridget Rampersad and
Nafilia McIntyre as Nasha Singh; Kenelle Alphonse and Christy Maynard as Sandra
Singh, and featuring Michael Cherrie as Bloods, this highly entertaining and comical
play revolved around a man living a
double life suddenly becoming a national hero only to be cast into the
spotlight, bringing him much unwanted public attention. As the play
unfolded with great comedic delivery and timing one could almost for-
get many of the talents are now emerging themselves from the Acade-
my’s 3 rd and 4 th year acting student base. The director, Marvin Ish-
mael, also known for his work in many Canadian television shows and
the Broadway Musical ‘Bombay Dreams’, is the Assistant Professor in
Acting at the Academy. Much more is expected and upcoming from
this group. The talent emerging remains endless.
Eating For a Better YOU !
Selecting the right foods to eat has become very complex, and confusing, not forgetting very con-
troversial as well. From paleo to vegan diets, to going gluten and dairy free, making healthy food
choices has become confusing to say the least. My viewpoint is simple, there is no one diet right for
everyone. My aim is to encourage you to have a healthy lifestyle for LIFE! “We are what we eat let
food be your medicine.” I am not going to stress on counting calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. My
motto is “All things in moderation.” My tips on “a healthy lifestyle” are flexible, empowering and
rewarding. Caribbean food, while spicy, is one of the healthier options among culinary traditions from different regions. The
lush Caribbean islands are full of vegetables and fruits for healthy living. Studies have linked eating a typical diet filled
with processed meats, packaged meals, takeout food, and sugary snacks with higher rates of depression, stress, and
anxiety. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, reducing your intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates, helping to im-
prove your mood and lower your risk for lifestyle health problems. Aside from portion size, perhaps the single biggest mod-
ern problem is the amount of added sugar in our food. Reducing the amount of candy and desserts you eat is only part of the
solution as sugar is also hidden in foods such as bread, cereals, canned
soups and vegetables, pasta sauce, margarine, instant mashed potatoes,
frozen dinners, low-fat meals, fast food, and ketchup. Your body gets all
the sugar needed naturally; therefore all the added sugar is a lot of empty
calories. Jeanette Marcelle Chef Extraordinaire
