Clain, a/k /a ‘Seriac” Throughout his decades of helping hundreds of teens along the often-awk- ward paths that separate childhood from adulthood, Clain maintained his commitments to himself. He always strived to bring out the best in others, and he always did it with unre­ strained passion and zeal. In many ways, Clain never grew up. To the end, he reveled in the energy and enthusiasm and inquisitiveness of young people as he shared his own life-long enthusiasm for travel, foreign cultures and the wonders of the stage. Directing dozens of musicals, each as if it was his first, Clain invited his students to return to their childhoods and, together, transform make-believe into a new happy reality.
