I was in exactly one play while at BYU and it was pretty awful. It was some class project that I decided to be in just for the hell of it. However, the story isn't so much the play, but one of the people that was in it. His name was Kevin. What could be said of Kevin would be nothing sort of tragic. He was extremely unattractive, totally bizarre, tiny and worked at a Deseret Industries. He was a walking nightmare, but one where he's such a nightmare that you could only like the guy. Anyway, we sort of befriended him and he just kind of started showing up at our house "The Hole". He became sort of the mascot. Our friends started dealing with Kevin of which he seemed to attach himself to this particularly buxom chica named Tana, a girlfriend at the time of one our rich playboy friends (they ended up being married, then divorced,a nd now he is in prison in SoCal). She would tease this guy to no end (as she did with many of us). Kevin relished in it because I think the guy NEVER had friends. Crispy, Andrew and I moved that summer and Kevin faded from our lives. Wonder whatever happened to that guy. His classic line in the play that was TOTALLY botched was when he was supposed to say ONE LINE regarding seeing blood on this persons hands. He yelled out "She's GOT SOMETHING ON HER HANDS!" in completely wrong fashion that actually caused laughter. It was classic drama by a classic artisan; Kevin, poet, bard, DI worker.
