Theater group to perform 'The Big One'
By Kevin Hoffmann
Kansan staff writer
Professor Omofolabo Ajaiy-Soyinka never dreamed of becoming a television evangelist, she said, although she enjoys preaching to her students.
Chorus members sink around Fran Lantz, center, and Anitra Menning, right, as the two simultaneously rehearse the part of Alice from the play "Waiting for the Big One." The play opens this weekend and focuses around "life, time and commitment in the nuclear age," said Robert Baker, co-director.
Ajayi-Soyinka will have the chance to take her teaching style to new heights when she plays a rather bizarre evangelist in the play "Waiting for the Big One," written by Lawrence resident Penny Weiner.
The character played by Ajayi-Soyinka, an assistant professor of theater and film and women's studies, will offer advice to other characters in the play through a giant video screen when "Waiting for the Big One" is performed this weekend at the Lawrence Arts Center. 200 W. Ninth St.
"Did I ever see myself as an evangelist?" Ajayi Soyinka asked herself. "No way. She is something completely out of the scope of my personality."
Ajayi-Soyinka linked her job as a professor who preached in order to educate students with her character's role as an evangelist, but she said the methods differed.
"Her style of teaching is vastly different from my method of teaching." Aaji-Soyinka said. "She has an idea she wants to impart to others, and she uses religion as her medium to do that."
Robert Baker, Lawrence resident who co-directs the play with Weiner, said Ajai-Soyinka's character told characters to pay less attention to time and to do less, advice that clashes with today's society, which stresses doing many things in as little time as possible.
Baker, a member of Chameleon Productions, said the independent theater group of about 15 Lawrence residents was impressed with "Waiting for the Big One," winner of the 1991 Kansas City Arts Commission's Play Writing Fellowship.
"She talks about how our desires push and pull us all the time," Baker said. "At first, her advice seems pretty weird, but by the end of the play, the characters realize that what she has says some truth to it."
of the rut is more difficult than if you just see where you are now."
"This was a play that struck me right away as
something I wanted to do," Baker said. "Waiting for the Big One" centers on the first American family to have an in-home nuclear reactor. While observing the life of the family, the audience glimpses what it is like to try to escape the monotony of being a member of a middle-class family in middle America.
"There's so much stress in today's world because we always feel like we should be somewhere else with our life," he said. "But, sometimes getting out
Baker said "Waiting for the Big One" addressed many topics of concern to today's women.
"This play looks at pregnancy, abortion, balancing life and work and not getting stressed out," he said.
"Waiting for the Big One" will be performed at 8 p.m. April 22-23 and 29-30 at the Lawrence Arts Center. Admission is $5 for the public and $4 for students. Tickets are available at the center.
