Waiting for her 2022

One of the leading performing theater groups in Abuja and environs, Arojah Royal Theater has kicked off the 2022 theater season with a stage performance of the play, 'Waiting For Her' written by a Swedish playwright, EliSophie Andrée.

The play with the original title 'Waiting For You' is a comedy about grief, daring to move on and friendship.

In his opening remarks at the stage performance which took place at Brazilian Embassy Abuja on Thursday, the Artistic Director Arojah Royal Theatre, and the Director 'Waiting For Her' Om'Oba Jerry Adesewo noted that the production is one of Arojah Royal Theatre's numerous activities under the Cultural Partnership Initiative (CPI), which incidentally was launched in collaboration with the Swedish Embassy in 2014.

Explaining what the play is all about, Om'Oba as he is generally known in the theater and literary world said, "The journey to self-discovery is one we must all embark upon, either as a person, people or nation. 'Waiting For Her' is a testament to the therapeutic essence of theater and our desire as always is to deploy the fundamentality of the art as a socio force and I think that's what we have just done here. I hope that like Elina, we would all find our path.”
