Sitting high above the village, the Fiddler, Noelle Baker, plays a tune for Shannon Jergens, Cheryl Scovel, and Regina Franke-so they can dance a traditional dance. Ms. Heeg, Fiddler's director, gives last minute instructions (and words of advise) to the cast. . . . Recognizes SOVIET JEWS Fiddler on the Roof is a story of changing traditions and the degree to which a small village is ready to accept the new ways. The setting is a small Jewish village in pre- revolutionary Russia. From the beginning, the breakdown of tradition is portrayed. Tevye is the most able of all the villagers to accept the breakdown of tradition. His wife Golde wants to keep traditions, but can change with Tevye. Their three daughters, Tzeitel, Hodel, and Chava are very eager to see the breakdown come. Motel is a suitor to the oldest daughter, Tzeitel. Finally, Yente is the matchmaker. She is most opposed to the changes because it would cause the loss of her job. Said Ms. Heeg, the director of the play, The cast of Fiddler unanimously decided to dedicate both performances to the plight of the Soviet Jew. Rabbi Edelheit was so touched by our gesture, that he sent a prepared news release to UPI and to the Soviet Jews. Now, they too, know that we are supporting them. It's great knowing that in some small way, we have helped people faced daily with persecution and cultural genocide. -Todd Jones -Kathy Mickus 10 Student Life
