Bill (Slippery) Eaton (director of The Unsinkable Molly Brown)

Barbara DiIaconi (costume design for Molly Brown and director of other plays)
Barbara came to Klamath Falls from Las Vegas in 1991 where she had a law practice. After having two plays turned down by the Linkville board of directors, Barbara took over for a director whose wife was sick. The director wanted to play a part, though, so Barbara directed and he acted. The first the board knew of the change was when the poster went out. Imagine their surprise. Barbara has acted in, directed, and done wardrobe for numerous plays at the Linkville. Next spring she will direct Hedda Gabler.
