The typing reads: "The Curious Savage--Dotty Kirkpatrick momentarily abandons her Teddy bear to register pain of an oncoming headache as "The Blackland Players" continued rehearsals for the November 3-5, 1966 presentation of the theater group's season opener, 'The Curious Savage.' Mrs. Kirkpatrick appears in the title role as Mrs. Ethel Savage. Looking on is John Clarkson, who plays the bombastic Titus Savage, Ethel's scheming, money- grabbing stepson." (Staff Photo by Bill Raley) Mrs. Kirkpatrick, mother of Margaret and Joanna, was a member of "The Blackland Players" for many years. I remember seeing at least one of their productions when she had an important role. Can't remember too much about the play, but that Mrs. Kirkpatrick was good. I do remember walking up steps for the play. Wasn't the name of the group to change to reflect the name of one of Hunt County's leading actors? Did it? Evangelyn, did you participate in this theater group? As I remember, you did. Anyone else from Celeste? Sarah '61 Other Celeste actors in recent years? Joshua Wright, Kandace West. . .
