Cast of Fiddler on the Roof A frequently heard question at the beginning of school was, Are you going to UZ out for 'Fiddler on the Roof'? A er many talented students tried out for the various arts, joe Dolezal and Rich Billinger, cllrloral and acting direc- tors, had to choose the best people for the parts and backsta e crews. When all of the dicisions had been made, rehearsals began. Aerobics, dance-step revisions, singing, and con- structive criticism became tradition for the cast. For six weeks they worked hard on perfectin their performance. Amid the hard work, students still had to manage jobs, dance or singin lessons and, most important, homewogc. Every chance they got they ulled out assignments and started working. Six weeks can be a very long time or a very short time, depending on how you loo at it. But it was long enough to create many memories of happiness, relief, frustration and bittersweet sadness. Everyone had to work together because, as Billinger said, You're only as strong as your weakest actor. And the cast and crew did work together, particularly on Sunday night, which they felt was their very best performance. After the final scene, after the curtain calls, the people of the little town of Anatevka were swept away with relief, pride and a hint of sorrow. -Erin Meckenstock TOP: Golda and Yente tBuffy Larson and Lydia Millerl discuss the pressing problem of husbands for Golda's daughters.
