Why does the actor who merely speaks one line enjoy a play as much as the actor who appears in every act?

"It's fun," is Cliff Hamill's answer. "Even if you only get to walk across the stage, you're tickled to death—it's the feeling of the theater."

But Cliff doesn't feel that his role as a supporting actor is any less important than the role of a leading actor.
Although he will not make a career of drama. Cliff does not think it would be difficult to earn his living from drama.

"There are so many phases to choose from—the business of tickets and publicity, directing, teaching drama, stage technical work, make-up, acting.
"Anyone who works hard and uses his time wisely in the KU drama department could be a success in any of these phases," he said.
"Desire Under the Elms" marks Cliff's first performance at KU.

As he talked, Cliff hammered away on a baby cradle for the play. It was late evening and the back stage was a caldron of activity as stage hands whisked about making last-minute preparations for the opening show.

Cliff said a round of pizza would soon arrive for the play workers' supper before curtain time. He spoke softly—to save his voice for the play—and nervously watched the excitement mounting about him.
A buzz saw whined and the smell of sawdust filled the air.
All Actors Busy Before Show
"I'm a bit nervous tonight," he apologized, clearly anxious to get back to his work.
