Staring Richard Eliasen as 'The Clown That Could Not Smile' was a major production whose cast has been awarded many honors and accolades. There were seven curtain calls. The beautiful ladies in the supporting roles were (left to right) Judy Davis Lincicum, Cindy Tarr and (maybe Julie Adams).
Continuing on was Richard (Burton) Eliasen, Nancy Woods as the Mom, Jackie Klinge Keiser* (*whom I had a 12 year crush on and got tongue-tied every time I tried to call her for a date.)
( Merlin the Magician), The Fatman Jim (Marlon) Knapp (I had to put on 50 lbs for the part and never lost them. Fortunately I grew taller. I do remember my lines, sort of kind of, "Why not be like me I am always jolly?") and seated are Gordon (Dobie) Knutson and I'm guessing here (Robert DeNiro).
Class of 1958.... A Third Grade Production! "The Clown That Could Not Smile"
