As anticipation builds ahead of the premiere of Odigbose at the Ajip Hall of Muson Center, more details are emerging about the historical playlet written by Otunba Olawanle Akinboboye, President of La Campagne Tropicana Group and visionary behind the East and West Africa Amalgamation.
Among the revelations is that celebrated Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde featured in an earlier production of Odigbose more than two decades ago.
The revelation offers a glimpse into Otunba Olawanle Akinboboye’s creative eyes for talent.
Speaking with members of the current cast and crew after their final rehearsal, Otunba Akinboboye, who is also directing the production, described their involvement in the project as a rare privilege because some would be making their debut at Muson Centre. While some are being given a platform to follow the successful pathways of people like Omotola Jolade Ekeinde.
According to Otunba Olawanle Akinboboye, those participating in the production should consider themselves fortunate to be part of a historical theatrical work.
Otunba Akinboboye announced the amphitheatre at La Campagne Tropicana Forest, River and Beach Resort would be launched in the coming weeks, after which Odigbose would become part of the resort’s weekly activities for guests and other visitors.
The planned transition from a stage production to a recurring attraction is expected to give more people the opportunity to experience the playlet.
