Hey gang. Time to do that blog thing, and I’ve got to do a little nostalgia fill.
I first became involved in theater while I was in junior high. I played the villain in an old-style melodrama called “The Purloined Pearls” while I was in 7th grade. At least one notable friendship ensued from that experience, and Rebecca, you know that was you.
After that school year, I auditioned for a summer production at the Salina Community Theater for Stephen Vincent Benet’s Stories of America. I was cast in the part of Johnny Pie in the tale of “Johnny Pie and the Fool Killer”. I played Johnny Pie from age 11 until adulthood, then another performer took over the part for the finale.
The director that cast me in that part was Richard Junk.

I enjoyed all of the Drama classes I took at Salina Central High School in my youth. RJ was a being of energy, and he had a positive effect on my life.
Thank you, Richard Junk. I hope you are greeted at the gates with a chicken impersonation.
Peace y’all.
