Audience members listen as Tevye the Milkman, played by the talented Cliff Hales, contemplates a future as a 'rich man' in the 1998 production of Fiddler on the Roof. According to director Mari Lynn Garbowicz, Hales was made for the part of Tevye. Hales also entertained audiences in the 2001 production of Camelot as Pellinore, a slightly batty old knight.  (Photo by Lynn Bonack)

Although opening night of Fiddler on the Roof ran nearly four hours, many in the audience were unaware that until that evening, the cast hadn't rehearsed the show in its entirety.  Here, the 'Papas,' Tim Kordula, Mark Patterson, and Mike McMurray, explain their traditional roles as they work 'day and night' to make a living.

Forty-one cast members and over 60 other community volunteers joined to make Fiddler on the Roof a success.  The group added a fourth production for this show and sold out each evening.  The TLTC's fourth season was based on  Joseph Stein's book, with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and music by Jerry Bock.   (Photo by Lynn Bonack)
