The Actors Studio will be partnering with the Malaysian AIDS Foundation to present Life Sdn. Bhd. 5: I’m Positive! for five days from 24 to 28 March.
Nine individuals will be stepping on stage for the very first time. They come from all walks of life but they share two things in common – they have been affected by HIV and AIDS and they want to share their personal stories with other people. Some have been tested positive while others have partners, family or friends who have tested positive. Some are married with children while others are still in search of that special someone. Their stories on love, life and most important of all, living, are honest and heart-warming.
In addition, Life Sdn. Bhd. 5: I’m Positive will also feature some talented singers. Singer-songwriters Ariff Akhir and Ian Chow will be performing their own compositions dedicated to the show entitled Take Me Home and What If, respectively.
