About Us
The E.N.T. Factor was the brainchild of the late Trinidadian actor Christopher Smith. E.N.T. is an acronym for Epic Natural Talent. It is also an iconic trini slang establishing the company’s patriotic nature. His aim was to create a family oriented theatre company following the motto “Work hard, play hard”. Having passed away a few months after registering the business in 2019 his widow Paula Hamilton-Smith continues the legacy. Under the logo that was designed by him, she has managed to host two Open Mics, a virtual acting workshop and to keep the social media account The E.N.T. Factor active.
