The first taste of Theatre

My father in costume for his first play. The name of the play is long forgotten but my Dad did not tell anyone about the play or being in it, until the night of the opening. He wanted to surprise everyone you see. This was a trait he had always, he loved to surprise. He was like this always and Christmas was an especially fun time for him.
