Pot Pourri productions play with words
$299
Jainie Carswell, Lawrence senior, knows a lot of words. In fact, you might say that words are his specialty.
By Anne Sutherland Special to the Kansan
Carswell manipulates words with masterful effect in the one-act plays "Mixed Media" and "Dinner Theatre," which he wrote and directed for the Inge Theater Series Pot Pourri Productions. The series continues this week at the Inge Theater in Murphy Hall.
His plays not only question people's perceptions of reality, fiction and theater, they also entertain and enlighten. How do actors perceive playwrights? How do playwrights perceive audience members? How does an audience perceive itself?
Carswell, a native of Belfast, Ireland, chooses his words carefully when describing his plays.
"I hesitate in calling them alternative because that would imply that there is some normal type of theater that they compare to," he said.
The Pot Pourri Productions, as well as other Inge Theater productions, are described as experiment-
"They are not so much experimental theater as a space for experimentation," he said.
tal, a term with which Carswell is more comfortable.
"Mixed Media" and "Dinner Theater" take place in a different universe, Carewell said. The audience knows that what it sees on the stage is make-believe. The conflict of the plays is that the characters must deal with the fact that they are fiction. In both plays, the characters realize that their lives are manipulated by a script.
In "Mixed Media," three soldiers realize that they are characters in a play and that a page of the script is missing. The action of the play centers on their questioning reality. Drifting between reciting prose and speaking dialogue, they see that they are manipulated by many media — a novel, a play and a poem.
"Dinner Theatre" also deals with the interweaving of reality and fiction, as characters representing the Audience Member, the Actor, and the Playwright debate their dependent relationship. The Actor expresses his frustration with an Audience Member who sits back and demands to be entertained and the Playwright who gives him no material with
which to work. But the characters come to realize that without each other their functions would serve no purpose.
Although the interaction of the Actor and the Audience Member does become confrontational, Eric Almquist, Salina senior, said that the audience shouldn't be put off by it. Almquist, who plays the part of the Actor, said that although the play made fun of the audience, people would realize it was all in good humor.
"We're making fun of ourselves,too," he said. "We're caricatures."
Carswell said that he appreciated the opportunity to direct his plays in the Inge Theater and that he realized his plays probably would not be performed in many other venues.
"We're lucky to have a place to direct our own work, and the University is one of the few places we can do that," Carswell said.
"Dinner Theatre" and "Mixed Media" will be performed at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Inge Theater in Murphy Hall. Tickets are $6 for general public, $3 for students with KU I.D. and $5 for senior citizens.
