Judy Gar land and Gene Kelly sang commandingly in a movie musical. Joe Killian obeyed, and his mother in Michigan is still asking why he doesn't go out and get a grow up's job. But in Duplin County for the first major offering in the Twelve Days of Christmas celebration in Kenansville. residents will be glad that Killian became a clown, found his partner Michael Zerphy. and didn't do as his mother had wished!

At 28, Killian. who has been a professional clown for six years, wons a Parks and Recreation ^Department county audition last spring and wound up with summer stints in more than 50 local parks, day camps and schools. His one-man show. "Friend or Fool," was con ceived to remove the clown from the realm of the stereo type - "the unfortunate and grotesque circus association, with gaudy clothes," as Kil lian puts It - and transport him onto a simple, indehti fiable Everyman level: "The contemporary person - your uncle or the guy down the block ? bumbling through life." Killian, a self-described clown and mime, is, as well, intent on creating new levels for the latter category; that is, to change and expand it, from what he calls "the white-faced silent character tradition" to the performer who actually creates a dif ferent language. He terms it "gibberish," but defines it as language all the same. , In his 45-minute show. Kil lian stresses the participa tory and celebratory nature of clowning. "When the audience sees me trying to put on my jacket every which way but the correct way. they really want to help," he said. "When I've achieved it. they've achieved it too. met a new character, learned a new way of communication (through gibberish) and ex perienced the silliness in themselves." I he coat routine is a solo version of the duet that Killian developed with his partner in clowning, Michael Zerphy, that includes jugg ling with a member of the audience who, in the pro cess, winds up becoming a clown, too.

Joe and Michael both enjoy 1 traveling, story-telling and 1 Mexican food I In an Aug. 14 article featured in the New York Times, Alvin Klein quotes Killian as saying, "This Christmas, philosophers, stand back! And Duplin County, welcome to the world of the clown. Joe Killian and Michael Zerphy will share a Christ mas with special parts written for Duplin County. They will share their clowns' world filled with joy, ten derness and laughter. . where each day holds the jromisc of a look at things amiliar - and especially, at jurselves." The clown is the outcast who is brought in, like the xmrt jester. He turns things tround and asks that audi ? i ences look ?( an ordinary thing with different eyes, ? until it becomes magical. Discovery and aliveness are A what it's all about. For more, you'll have to ask a philo sopher."
