Estate of Dell McLain

Dell, the standout student, joined with a troupe of other young actors who became lifelong friends to fulfill dreams of putting on perfect productions at Southeastern. Working side-by-side with mentor Molly Risso, Dell’s characters were/are legendary, his creative portrayals without equal. These were the glory days at Southeastern that brought Shakespeare to rural Oklahoma and made theatre less intimidating. With Dell as the ringleader, this talented group acted in dinner theatres, sat in on tryouts, laughed and cried together, lived together, got wild and crazy, and made history.
