of the show. Schore was ask-
ed to fill in and the rest is
history. Since then, he's per-
formed in more than 30 plays
in 14 years.
Shy? Not anymore. The six-
foot-tall optometrist greets
people with a hearty hand-
shake and a friendly smile.
His voice is soft and warm.
He looks people directly in
the eyes when he talks to
them. He moves with
confidence.
He has this same con-
fidence on stage.
"I remember his first
show," said Barbara Gowans,
legal secretary and musical
director. "He wasn't nervous
on stage. I asked him why he
wasn't and he replied that he
didn't know he was supposed
to be."
Gowans, who also is an ac-
tress, costume designer, pro-
ducer and make-up person,
was the musical director for
Schore's first acting ex-
perience. She's come to know
him very well since then.
They're both members of the
St. Dunstan's Theatre Guild
of Cranbrook, of the Birm-
ingham Village Players and
of the Ridgedale Players.
"Don is a pretty good
dancer and a real good
baritone. But what calls at-
tention to him on stage is his
presence. People notice him.
He seems right at home on
stage," she added.
Pretty good for a guy who
never had the nerve to ask
out a date while in high
school. Pretty good, too, for
someone who never had any
acting, singing or dancing
lessons.
"I can't read a note of music
but I'm able to listen and
remember what I heard. I
learn my lines with the help
of my cassette player when I
drive to and from work and I
learn the dances in rehearsal.
Luckily I seem to have a
natural knack for doing
things that are required for
the stage — probably because
of my sports background," ex-
plained the ballroom dance,
cooking and travel
enthusiast.
His athletic prowess also
proved invaluable when he
portrayed the lead horse in
the drama, Equus.
"Don was superb in
Equus," said director Edgar
A. Guest III. "He had to carry
the lead man around a lot on
his back while walking on
ten-inch high steel horse
shoes that weighed about six
pounds each. Just learning
how to walk in those shoes
was a task."
Schore's stage skills have
enabled him to act with dif-
ferent groups around the
metropolitan Detroit area, in-

Donald Schore enjoys optometry as much as being in the theater.

eluding Meadow Brook
Theatre, and with the
Showboat Dinner Theatre
near Los Angeles, Calif.
"I went to California in
1984 to go into optometry
practice with a former
classmate of mine. While out
there I went to a singles
dance at a local temple and
heard people rehearsing Guys
and Dolls. Since I'd been in
the musical before, I asked
the director if I could be in the
chorus. It turned out the man
was Mike Monaha, director
and owner of the Showboat
Dinner Theatre. He asked me
later to perform in My Fair
Lady at his place for the en-
tire summer. I loved the ex-
perience," exclaimed Schore,
who is one of three doctors in
a family of three sons.
Schore gave up his Califor-
nia connection after 11/2 years
and returned to the Detroit
area where his parents live.
He plans on continuing
with his private practice in
Rochester Hills and being a
bit part actor or a star in
whatever show is next. But
getting a part means rehear-
sing a minimum of four
nights a week for six-to-eight
weeks. He's busy now, in fact,
with rehearsals for
Something's Afoot, a murder,
mystery, musical comedy, as
Schore described it, based on
the play Ten Little Indians.
He will perform the role of
Nigel. Ridgedale Players will
present the play Sept. 18-Oct.
4.
Schore is involved in show
business in ways other than
acting on stage. He's on the
ticket committee for St.
Dunstan's and is in charge of
the marquee for Village
Players. He also goes to pro-
fessional and non-
professional theaters around
the area to see other
productions.

"Being involved in the
theater doesn't take up much
more time than some people
spend watching television. I
can't think of not being on
stage now. Acting is
something I can do at any
age. I don't have to worry
about hanging up my
baseball spikes at a certain
age," he added. ❑
