A Thousand Clowns by Mike McGranaghan The recent production of Herb Gardner ' s A Thousand Clowns here on campus took me by surprise. When I entered the Little Theater, I didn ' t know what to expect. I had never heard of the play, but was sure that it would be at least pretty good. That was an understatement. The play was hysterically funny in parts, poig- nant, and extremely well acted. It is the story of Murray Burns (played to perfection by Bill Snelling), an unemployed comedy writer who has custody of his nephew, Nick (Kelly Green). Despite Nick ' s proddings, Murray refuses to look for a job, preferring to go to the Statue of Liberty one more time. One day, an uptight social worker (David Andrews) and a psychologist (Katherine Henry) pay a visit to Murray ' s cluttered apartment. They inform him that if he does not soon find work, he will lose Nick. Murray goes to see his sister Abagail (Sue Toland) who convinces him to take his old job back. That job was writing comedy for an obnoxious television kids ' show host named Chuckles the Chip- munk (Ken Krawchuck). Murray certainly doesn ' t want to go back to working for Chuckles, but he doesn ' t want Nick to be taken away, either. Slowly he learns to accept responsibility and make an adult choice. Bill Snelling was just right as Murray Burns. He effectively captured the sarcastic attitude that makes Murray such a likable protagonist. He also interacted well with Kelly Green, who had the difficult task of playing the opposite sex. She did it successfully, always making the audience believe that she was a twelve year old boy. The supporting performances were good, too. Katherine Henry brought the proper amount of humor and sexiness to her role of the psychologist who becomes Murray ' s lover. This was her first LVC production, and you can bet you ' ll see her again soon. Sue Toland was very convincing as Abagail. She slowly forces Murray to face maturity. This is a particularly demanding role, since she gradually grows more and more angry at him until she finally explodes. Ken Krawchuck was very well cast as Leo Herman a.k.a. Chuckles. He made his character a jerk without ever losing the sympathy of the audience. He knows he ' s a jerk, but he ' s too busy trying to make kids happy to do anything about it. But as good as all these performances were (and they were excellent), David Andrews nearly stole the show as the stuffy social worker. His speech and mannerisms had the audience in hysterics. It was a great comedic supporting performance. Since this is a review, I feel that I should point out something that went wrong, or just didn ' t work. But in all honesty, I can ' t think of a thing about the play that I didn ' t like. It was that good. The actors were enjoyable, and Dr. John Kearney did a nice directorial job. If you missed A Thousand Clowns, you missed what is surely one of the best plays ever to be put on the LVC stage. Here ' s a look at those behind the scenes: Director: Dr. John Kearney; Producer Costumes: Tara L. Thomas; Set Design: Ken- neth Miller; Lighting Design: Jennifer Lord and M. Brent Trostle; Stage Manager: Kathleen Ryan; Make-up: Laurie Devine; Stage Crew: Bill Adams, Kelly Snyder and Cathie Wheeler; Set Con- struction: David Andrews, Matt Guenther and Doug Nyce; Props Mistress: Sue Toland. 21
