Mileage, Memories and Mishaps

The Three Musketeers: TAM’s Veteran Actors Talk Mishaps, Memories

I met him on a bike ride to State College at the end of my freshman year in college. Though 17 or 18 years older than me and my classmates, by mile 60, none of us could stay with him. I would ride many thousands of miles with him over the next 10 years.

Only after several years of hard training did I finally manage to outride him, as age slowed him ever so slightly. He accompanied me on the first thousand miles of my cross-country trip after college graduation, leading our little group along the breathtaking Columbia River gorge and its awesome waterfalls, into the rugged northern Rocky Mountains of Idaho, through the desolation of Craters of the Moon National Park and over majestic Teton Pass. That by itself would have been enough adventure and natural beauty for most lifetimes, but it was only the beginning of the incredible rides and experiences Ken would share with me or in some cases, put me through.

Our treks into the countryside were more than bike rides, for Ken was a historian and naturalist extraordinaire. He was proof that formal education was not a prerequisite to being an intelligent, well-read and thoughtful person.

He would do two other cross-country rides — from Altoona to Seattle in and San Diego to Altoona the following summer. Even into his 40s, the mileage Ken would tally on these trips was staggering. And a lot of the audience have had their tickets at this theatre that have been handed down in the family over the years.

There are other years that have been like this, but this year particularly everybody was working as a well-oiled machine. Even today an actor tripped over the ropes on the ring and brought it down before the wrestling in As You Like It.

We all have moments like that where the lines leave you. It happened to me in The Tempest one night. The mishaps and mess-ups are just as rich as the good moments.

I look back fondly on that production where I wore a set of drapes for a costume at one point in that show. And in Henry V , when we did that we had a young actor named Sarah Hoyer who had just graduated, and she was certified in quarter staff. So, everyone fought with quarter staff. So much of this business is spent on the nuts and bolts, on the money and how much you make and are you going to be able to make your rent, because it is a very precipitous business.
