Break With Tradition: A Success Someone said that life imitates art; nowhere could this be more true than in Fiddler On the Roof which is a drama based on the breaking of numerous traditions to the cries of conservatives, prophe- sizing that bad things would happen.

Amid the controversy surrounding this Love crosses all barriers as the Russian soldier (Stephen Sadlier) falls in love with Tevye’s daughter (Michelle Gaudette). action, people failed to notice that the female was Amy Cronin, and, therefore, no one had to worry because her acting talent could carry it off. Combining the acting talent of the cast with amodernisticsetanda superior backstage crew, this play became an enormous succeess, amazing those critical of the radical act of mixing genders. But, then again, if we listened to the conservatives we would have had males play all the roles, as they did in Shakespeare's day. Match-making Yente (Marianne Norton) tells all about Tevye’s family.
