Although Centreville’s Kevin Clay isnow a professional actor, he neverforgets his roots. He also acknowl-

edges and is grateful to everyone whohelped him along the way.

“I still tell stories about Westfield [High]all the time,” he said. “What I learned mostfrom my time there wasn’t just theater. Iremember my English teacher, Deborah VanTrees, and my history teacher, Lon Pringle,both in my junior year. They gave me anunderstanding of the importance of learn-ing from all aspects of life.”

Clay said they also taught him that “The

end result is not what you should be aim-ing for, but the process. It’s not the gradeyou get, but what you do along the way. Ithen applied this advice to every aspect ofmy life.”

In theater, he said, “When you’re doingthe same show, over and over again, youneed to stay present and make it feel brandnew every night. So you have to take yourcharacter through his story or journey astruthfully as possible. And I will forever begrateful to my first theater teacher atWestfield, Scott Pafumi. He’s the one whofirst made me think I could do theater formy life.”

Now, Clay has some advice for others

wondering if they, too, could make it in thetheater like he’s doing. “I’d tell them to becompletely unashamed of their love for the-ater,” he said. “And by going to shows orreading about theater, they’re increasingtheir knowledge of it, which is always posi-tive. I’d also say, ‘Know that there’s alwaysroom in your life for the things you’re pas-sionate about.’”

“I wanted theater to be both my hobbyand my career, and I’ve been fortunate tomake it my reality,” he continued. “If otherpeople had thought, ‘I can’t make it,’ wewould have lost so many good actors.”

When Kevin Clay wasstill in elementaryschool, he dazzledlocal audiences in

the title role of The AllianceTheatre’s production of “Oliver!”He continued garnering rave re-views at Westfield High, playing theleads in shows including NeilSimon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs”and “Joseph and the AmazingTechnicolor Dreamcoat.”

So those who know him wellaren’t surprised at all that this now24-year-old is actually making a liv-ing in the theater. He’s in the na-tional tour of “The Book of Mor-mon” and can currently be seen atThe Kennedy Center in Washing-ton, D.C., now through Nov. 19, inyet another leading role – this time,as Elder Price.

“It’s good to be back home,” saidClay last Friday. “I started as anensemble player in this show in Oc-tober 2015; and for the past sixmonths, I was the Elder Smithstandby, ready to perform if everthe lead couldn’t. But starting onOct. 24, I got to do it for real.”

After graduating from Westfieldin 2011, Clay attended Penn State,obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Artsin musical theater in 2015. Whilethere, he also sang with theuniversity’s a cappella group, TheStatesmen – even performing on“The Today Show,” in his sopho-more year.

“It was a really fun time,” said Clay. “Ialso did ‘Guys and Dolls’ again [as he did atWestfield], as well as ‘John and Jen,’ a small,

maintain a good attitude are also impor-tant attributes, said Clay. “They want

goodhearted people because manyof them stay with the show foryears,” he said. “So you want themto be friendly because it’s a familyenvironment; and on the road,we’re often all each other has. Andthe people in this show are awe-some; whether you want to spendtime with them or be by yourself,they’re a really good group.”

After auditioning, he returnedhome to Centreville, but not forlong. Even before he heard backfrom the show, Clay had decided totake his own leap of faith and com-mit to trying to make it as a profes-sional actor. He told his parents,“I’m going to go to New York, be inthe heart of things and give it a try.”He had no job, but they were sup-portive.

Then on Sept. 1, 2015, while inhis car driving to New York, he of-ficially got the call that “The Bookof Mormon” wanted him. “Theyasked, ‘Are you available, the endof October?’ and I said, ‘Absolutely,’”said Clay. “I was beyond thrilled,and it was nice to know I had timeto hang out in the city, see friends

and some Broadway shows [before start-ing work].”

He and another castmate joined the tourat the same time, so he and Clay rehearsedtogether and didn’t have to be newcomersalone. Their first performance as Mormonmissionaries, or elders, was in Providence,R.I. Initially, said Clay, “You just want to getthrough the show and be as perfect as pos-sible. I didn’t feel 100-percent confidentuntil probably after a good month of per-forming.”

Since then, the tour has performed all

two-person musical. It wasnice to work on a personal-feeling project. When it’sjust you and one other ac-tor, it really connects you tothe show.”

His big break came in hissenior year when he andothers did an acting show-case, performing in front ofcasting people, agents andmanagers. Clay did a song

called, “She Likes Basketball,” from the mu-sical, “Promises, Promises,” and a castingdirector from “The Book of Mormon” liked

it and asked him to audition for that show.“I thought she’d add my name to a list

and I might hear from them in a year ortwo,” said Clay. “But two months later, theycalled to say, ‘We have a spot opening up inour national tour and we’d like to bring youback in to audition.’”

“That was my first, big, real audition outof school, trying to go from school to ca-reer,” he continued. “I went to New York,stayed on friends’ couches and auditionedfour times in one week. It was speaking anddancing — to both tap and hip-hop combi-nations.”

Herring promptly announced he wouldnot defend Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban.It’s fair to say that a variety of other issues havebeen different because of that razor thin vic-tory.

For most Americans, the word “slavery” ap-plies to an archaic institution. And, whileit is a scourge of the past for the more de-veloped or stable parts of the world, sla-

very isn’t history for other populations.“Historically, humanitarian and missions organi-

zations worked courageously to bring healthcare,education, food and other vital services to the glo-bal poor, but little had been done to actually restrainthe oppressors who are a source of great harm to thevulnerable,” said Jaclynn Willert, director of Profes-sional Athlete Partners and Programs at InternationalJustice Mission (IJM). “More than 20 years ago, GaryHaugen and a group of lawyers, human rights pro-fessionals and public officials launched an extensivestudy of the injustices witnessed by overseas mis-sionaries and relief and development workers. Thissurvey of more than 65 organizations representing40,000 overseas workers showed that 100 percentof the respondents were aware of cases of abuse andinjustice against the poor and vulnerable, but theyfelt powerless to do anything about it.”

The results of this investigation — that slavery wasvery much still alive — led Haugen to establish IJM,a Christian non-profit organization to operate on thefront lines of the battle against modern slavery.

“Gary established IJM in 1997, and the next yearIJM carried out its first rescue operation to free chil-dren from slavery,” Willert said. “Then, in 2000, IJM’sfirst long-term field office opened in Mumbai to part-ner with local authorities to rescue girls and womentrapped in sex trafficking.”

Headquartered in Washington D.C., IJM now hasfield offices in 17 countries across the world. Alto-gether, IJM employs more than 850 people to com-bat violence against the poor.

The non-profit works with local governments toconduct rescue operations; the organization said itsefforts led to the rescue 2,356 children, women andmen last year.

“We partner with local law enforcement to inves-

tigate cases of potential abuse, gathering evidenceagainst perpetrators and helping local authoritiesplan rescue operations,” Willert said. “We then sup-port authorities as they go into brothels, traffickingsites and other dark places to rescue victims of vio-lence and bring them to safety.”

These boots on the ground operations require dedi-cation, strategy, and – of course – funding. For allthe global progress IJM makes, it requires home-grown support.

Currently, Virginia Tire & Auto, the family-ownedand operated full-service car repair shop, isfundraising for IJM. Through June of 2018, the busi-ness will be donating a portion of proceeds from alloil changes to IJM. This will apply to at all 13 storelocations distributed throughout Fairfax, Loudounand Prince William counties.

“We’re giving a portion of our proceeds to IJM,and we’re really excited to be doing this,” said JulieHolmes, Virginia Tire & Auto president. “Our goal isto sponsor at least two rescue missions, each of whichcost about $7,000. In donating to IJM, we’re direct-ing funding the rescue of people from slavery. We’rebenefitting the most vulnerable in society. It’s anhonor to aid in the incredible work that IJM does.”

The Virginia Tire & Auto team first learned aboutIJM from its customer, Washington Redskins quar-terback Kirk Cousins. Cousins has lent public sup-port both to IJM and to Virginia Tire & Auto.

“We’ve had a relationship with Kirk Cousins forquite awhile,” Holmes said. “He’s a customer of ourDulles location, and his values align with those ofour organization. He’s been a spokesperson for usfor two seasons. He educated us about IJM, whichhe’s been a part of IJM since he was in high school.We’re so grateful for our connection to Kirk, and thenhow he connected us to IJM. No other organizationdoes work like them.”

These kinds of connections help fuel IJM’s fire.“Kirk and Julie Cousins are part of our IJM Pro

Athletes Program Team Freedom, and we are grate-ful to him for inviting Virginia Tire & Auto to join inthe fight to end slavery,” Willert said. “It will take allof us coming together to bring rescue and freedomeverywhere around the world.”

And Pafumi, now HerndonMiddle’s theater director, is confi-dent Clay’s words will, indeed,become reality. “As Kevin’s high-school theater teacher from 2007-2010, I remain in awe of his tal-ent and drive for the performingarts,” said Pafumi. “I knew Kevinsince he was in about third grade,the youngest of the dynamic Clayfamily,” which includes Kevin’s dadBilly, who acts in local theater pro-ductions.

“There was never any doubt inmy mind that Kevin would even-tually work professionally in thetheater as an adult,” said Pafumi.“He can sing, dance (while whis-tling), act and is an extremely hardworker. Even though he’s a per-former at heart, he took an inter-est in the behind-the-scenes workand was a great, technical-theaterstudent, too. During his junioryear, I taught him how to make

lighting cables and program alighting board, and he loved it.”

“While Kevin’s in town playingElder Price, he’s promised to visitmy classes at school, and I’m ex-cited to share him and his talentswith my students,” continuedPafumi. “I’m so proud of Kevin andall he’s accomplished so far. I lovethat he went to college and got adegree in Musical Theater, and Ilove touting that he got profes-sional work almost immediatelyupon graduation. He’s the true‘Portrait of A Graduate’ of FCPS,and I take pride knowing I had apart in preparing him for this mostexcellent journey in the arts.”

Others who can also say theyknew Clay when are equallythrilled for his success. Local ac-tor Jim Mitchell recalled workingwith him for the first time in amusical for The Alliance Theatre.“Fourteen years ago, I met a phe-nomenal kid, Kevin Clay, when Ihad the privilege to act with himon the same stage when he playedthe title role in ‘Oliver!’” saidMitchell. “Then on Sunday, Oct.29, I saw a phenomenal actor andman, Kevin Clay, play Elder Price– the lead – in ‘The Book of Mor-

over the U.S. and part of Canada. And Claysays some of his best memories were whenthey were in Chicago, seven or eight monthsafter he’d joined. “We were there sevenweeks, and a couple other shows were thereat the same time, so we got to hang out withthe other casts,” he said.

The irreverent musical also went to SaltLake City – and audiences there loved it.“They knew what the show was about, be-forehand,” said Clay. “And knowing Mormonculture, they understood all our jokes andsaw the heart behind them. Our show isn’tmeant to attack Mormonism; it’s simply us-ing it as one, specific example to serve thebigger message that faith is a positive force.”

He describes his character, Elder Price, as“the perfect, Mormon missionary – the defi-nition of clean, precise and friendly. But atthe same time, overly confident. He’s neverhad any real hurdles in his life. Everything’sbeen a steady climb for him – a happy familyand strong religion – so he believes his mis-sion to Africa will be just as smooth and thegreatest time in his life. So it’s fun to see himcome face-to-face with the true reality of theworld, and the show’s about his process toadapt.”

Clay loves his role and has wanted to playit since his freshman year of college whenthe soundtrack first came out.

“It’s fun to be such a dynamic character

with many over-the-top elements,” he said.“But I also get to bring a lot of myself to thecharacter and really play him earnestly.Throughout the show, he becomes more andmore sensitive to the people around him,instead of thinking about his own goals andsuccess.”

However, it’s not Clay’s first time perform-ing at The Kennedy Center. He did so duringCappies galas as a junior and senior in highschool; and as a sophomore, he was in ashow there called “Broadway: Three Genera-tions,” to open the newly renovatedEisenhower Auditorium.

So returning there now, as a professional,“feels right,” he said. “And it was so seren-dipitous that my first, official week as ElderPrice was at The Kennedy Center, in front offamily and friends, and where I have so manyspecial memories. It was amazing timing,and I’m excited to make this show my own.I’m looking forward to trying some moreacting choices, and I now feel like I knowthis show, inside and out.”

In November, the tour heads to Florida,and that’s fine with Clay. “I like being on theroad, and this is the time in my life to do it,”he said. “I love traveling all over and havingstories from lots of different places. It’s anamazing feeling to wake up in the morningand realize I’m going to perform that nightin the national tour of ‘The Book of Mormon’in one of my favorite roles currently in the-ater.”

Clay said the hardest part issometimes feeling discouragedwhen things aren’t going great. It’sgetting past those times “whenyou’re hearing ‘no’ at auditions orgiving your all in a show, but thedirector doesn’t like it and says

mon’ at The Kennedy Center.”“It was a remarkable perfor-

mance,” continued Mitchell. “Andthe star was kind enough to comeout the stage door and pay atten-tion to us mortals. Kevin was great,and it was wonderful to see himon that stage having such a greattime. We are all really proud andhappy for him.”

Another local actor, AnnieErmlick, also performed with Clayat Alliance. She saw his show, thispast weekend, and raved, as well.“It’s awesome from start to finish,and Kevin Clay is absolutely dy-namite,” she said. “I had a hardtime taking my eyes off him, and Iknow he’s going to have an amaz-ing career.”

The stretch of time between Hallow-een and the New Year can be asource of merriment and joy, but it

can also be a cause of stress, say mentalhealth professionals. According to a studyby the American Psychological Associationmore than 60 percent of Americans foundthe holiday season a frequent source ofstress and fatigue. While joy is still the pri-mary emotion, finding a way to create bal-ance and manage the additionaldemands brought on by the holidayseason can make holidays merry.

“Part of managing stress is iden-tifying the causes of stress and be-ing aware of what is going on withyou and what is going to triggeryou,” said Maria Mangione, Psy.D.,clinical psychologist at WashingtonCenter for Weight Loss Manage-ment. “Look back at past holiday seasonsand ask, ‘What got you sad? What madeyou nervous? What made you angry? Whilewe’re outside of the holiday season, if youcan look back at past seasons and thinkabout the times that you were stressed, youcan come up with a toolbox of things thatcould be helpful to you.”

From shopping and budgeting to overeat-ing and dealing with emotional issues,

Mangione says crafting a plan in advanceof the holiday season is a key to maintain-ing balance. “When someone is dealing withpeople or situations, it’s hard to figure outhow to deal with it in the moment,” shesaid. “If people prepare and have a plan inplace, they can go on autopilot.”

“The holidays are a time in which we arepotentially confronted with a lot added re-sponsibilities outside of our day-to-day,”added Monica Brand, Ed.D., assistant pro-fessor, Department of Counseling,

Marymount University. “As a result, we canbe thrown off and stressed simply becausewe are not on our usual routine.”

UNRESOLVED FAMILY ISSUES oftenresurface during the holidays and lead totension. “Overall, our change in routine, in-creased interaction with family and the ex-pectations we place on ourselves can allhave some impact on our stress levels dur-

ing the holidays,” said Brand. As a result,people tend to brace themselves for what-ever may come their way. A more basicmethod of avoiding stress is both mentallyand physically preparing before company,travel, or hosting duties. Many people dothis by creating to do lists, getting orga-nized, and planning before the beginningof their holiday.”

Be mindful of limitations and boundariesand limit the expectations we place on our-selves and others, advises Brand. “If you are

one who is so caught up in fes-tivities or is easily overwhelmed,setting reminders on your phone,smartwatch, or having someonehold you accountable in takingbreaks from the festivities mayrecharge your batteries,” shesaid.

Financial imbalance is a com-mon plight during the holiday

season, especially when a desire to give gen-erously outweighs one’s budget. “I cannotstress enough how important it is to set aspending limit for each person you will beshopping for ahead of time, before you goshopping,” said Brian Neely, professor of Ac-counting & Finance at Northern VirginiaCommunity College. “It is very easy to getcaught up in the festive moment and spendfar more than you really need to before you

Advanced planning is one key to holiday harmony.Creating Balanceeven realize what you have done. This willalways result in buyer’s remorse and canstrip away the true joy that should go hand-in-hand with the customary giving of gifts.”

Neely says that during the holidays mostAmericans have been programmed to spendthe vast majority of their discretionary in-come all at once. “The worst aspect of thisannual spending spree is that it generallygoes on a credit card or two or three and itstays on there for a very long time,” he said.“Once a purchase goes on a credit card, youare still paying for those purchased itemsfor many months afterwards with accruedinterest. So now, those presents under thetree on Christmas morning are still increas-ing in total actual cost until you pay thatdebt off from your credit cards.”

Avoiding store-issued credit cards is a keyaspect of maintaining a sane budget, ad-vises Emily Knarr, visiting faculty memberin Marymount’s Department of Accounting,Economics & Finance at Marymount Uni-versity. “They offer so many promotionsduring the holidays that it is tempting totake advantage of them, especially if yourother cards are maxed out and you still needto buy presents,” she said. “However, evenif the terms of the cards and promotionsare good, it still affects your credit rating

when you take on more debt. It can also bedifficult to close the cards once started.”

Neely has developed a foolproof way ofmanaging holiday finances. “I always writeout a list showing each item I have pur-chased for each person and track theamounts I have spent on each person sepa-rately each night after I have finished shop-ping for the day,” said Neely. “Seeing it allwritten down on paper can really help youcurb your enthusiasm when it comes to fran-tic holiday spending.”

MAINTAINING AN EXERCISE REGI-MEN is an important part of maintainingbalance during the holidays says RachelTrope, clinical exercise physiologist at Wash-ington Center for Weight Management.“Physical activity is going to increase moodand decrease anxiety,” she said.

Advanced planning is a key to makingsure it doesn’t fall by the wayside, advisesTrope. “For example, if you’re traveling, takeyour exercise clothes and shoes,” she said.“If you schedule exercise, you’re less likelyto push it off and it’s more likely to be suc-cessful. Get a friend that you can meet andexercise with.”

Roll exercise into family traditions. “If youcan’t get to a gym, try walking and try inte-grating your holiday traditions into some-thing active,” said Trope. “Try to establishnew traditions that are active that you canenjoy with your family and not take awayfrom family time or create the stress of hav-ing to choose.”

Put pen to paper when you develop aplan. “When you come up with a plan, writeit down and put it someplace where youcan see it and remind yourself of it,” saidTrope. “Write down what kind of rewardyou’re going to give yourself.”

Stress can lead to overeating during theholidays, and although holiday meals areoften associated with decadence, not allthose dishes are fat and sugar-laden, ad-vises Sara Ducey, professor of Nutrition andFood at Montgomery College in Rockville.“Our holiday dinners feature many nutri-tious food choices [such as] poultry and fish,sweet potatoes and squash, peas and othergreen vegetables and salads and fruits,” shesaid. “But there are also starchy, fatty andsugary foods [such as] mashed potatoes,rice dishes, cakes and pies and ice cream,whipped cream and marshmallows.”

Ducey recommends variety. “The moretypes of food you have, the more you andyour guests will eat,” she said. “This is calledthe buffet effect. So offer many [colorful]vegetable dishes to make your buffet lookbeautiful and inviting … [But] if you seethe food, you will eat it. Keep the food awayfrom the table, so guests have to get up torefill their plates.”

It is easy to get caught in the chaos of theholidays, but it’s important to remember thetraditions, values and beliefs that are uniqueto each family, suggests Brand. “[The holi-days] should be a reminder to us that noteveryone has the resources, access, or privi-leged to spend time with the people theylove on the holidays,” she said.

Though I studied French for five years, gradesseven through 11 and became quite proficient,this column has nothing to do with French or thismost famous of monuments. This column finishesthe three-column arc concerning the before, dur-ing and after of my bulb installation. Havingsafely landed on my feet, figuratively and literally,it’s time to complete the arc, especially consider-ing my triumph.

The bulbs are all in. No breakage to me orthe fixtures, the sconces or to the house. Just arelatively simple and straightforward (for me any-way) installation: on the refrigerator door (thenight light), in the living room (in the sconces)and back in the kitchen (the flush-mounted lightfixtures in the ceiling). I don’t want to over exag-gerate my success, but when you have had asmany failures – in this context, as I have, onetends to find great joy in having avoided greatcomplications.

I wouldn’t say or even admit to beating mychest with great pride because I do understandthe level of difficulty here but, previously I havegiven myself a nickname when a similar task athand has met with similar success: Taras Bulba,who had nothing to do with bulbs other thanpart of his name included b-u-l-b. For some rea-son, I also had the knowledge that Yul Brynnerplayed the title role in a 1962 film of the samename, but had no other information of substanceother than I remember him being bald – whichI’m not.

As to what I remember about what I wasthinking when we purchased a 250-year-oldfarmhouse on two acres in Montgomery Countyback in 1992: the price was reasonable/we couldafford it, it was two acres of land in an extremelydesirable county/location, it was close to I-95;and it was about time in our lives that we boughtour first home. As to what I was supposed to donext; soon after we moved in, we had a two-dayparty (to accommodate people’s availability); forthose two days I held a clipboard and took notesas many of our friends made casual observa-tions/suggestions about what work needed to bedone, inside the house and out.

We needed tile in both bathrooms – sincethere was none. We needed plumbing fixtures inone shower/tub – since there were none. Weneeded a “one-fixture rough-in” for a washingmachine – since there was none. We neededcentral air conditioning and ducts – since therewas none. We needed phone jacks/telephonewiring since there was only one phone outlet forthe entire house. We needed a new oil boilersince the unit in the basement was from “theyear one” (to use one of my late mother’sexpressions). We needed chimney repairs andliners. We needed an upgraded electrical panel.

As for the property/grounds; do you think alifelong renter with zero interest, aptitude orexperience had any of the tools necessary tomaintain two acres? That’s a rhetorical question ifthere ever was one. In over my head doesn’tbegin to scratch the surface of the depths of myimmersion.

But my wife, Dina, loved the house. Itreminded her of Chester County in Pennsylvaniawhere she grew up. And the price offered goodvalue. Within one minute of our initial visit to thehouse, after walking through the living roomacross the old-fashioned wide pine floor boardspass the cooking fireplace and stepping up into aformal dining room with another fireplace, Iknew Dina was sold. Fifteen minutes later weexited the house; didn’t flush a toilet, didn’t turnon a faucet, didn’t flick a light switch, did nothingexcept walk around. We made an offer the nextday, and the rest is basically this column.

As much as I thought I knew, little did I knowwhat I was actually getting myself into. It’s been25 years and I’m still way better in French than Iam in homeowner. I don’t call myself Taras Bulbafor nothing. I call myself Taras Bulba for some-thing: bulb replacement. It’s not much I realize,but it’s the best this man can do.

C’est la vie.
