Fiddler on the Roof - backstage pass

a few weeks ago, I got to help backstage with Greenville Theater Workshop's presentation of

Fiddler on the Roof!

It was tons of fun, very exhausting, and I met and worked with several wonderful people!!!

These pictures aren't in any particular order.....

These are in between the Saturday shows...

Michael and Daniel - they were joking that Daniel was going to protect Michael from his adoring fans! ;)

The amazing Mrs. Fowler(the Director) and Lily(Tzeitel), who is also amazing!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Fiddler

(Davis and Christina Holden)

Mrs. Fowler and Mrs. Smith, who ran the lights

Ashlee(Golde), Me, Amy(Music Director) and Lily

"Lord help the mister"......oh wait, that would be David..... :)

...who played "His Honor, the Constable"

Right before the shows, there was always last minute make-up

Micheal(Tevya) getting his beard 'installed'

Nicole(Yente) getting properly 'old' :)

The girls dressing room...12 girls in one room....yeah, it was fun!!!

Me and my little charge....I got to hold this little angel during the last act when she wasn't on stage!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Me and Lily in her wedding dress! ;)

These pics were taken from the wings during dress rehearsal

Clayton and Kyle doing the Bottle dance....never dropped one!!!

Michael in the wings getting ready to interrupt the wedding....

...and getting instructions from his fearless leader.... :D

The house set piece....was really cool, but it took at least five guys to move it!

we signed picture frames for Mrs. Fowler, Amy and Beth Wood(Choreographer)

"I'll get them husbands, very one of them! but you shouldn't be so picky! Right? Of course Right!!!"

"To Life!!!!"

The last scene of the last show, all of the backstage crew went out on stage in costume for the fun of it! :)

Even Mrs. Fowler!!! :)

My autograph page!

I love how Michael's and Mr. Will's look are actually self-portraits!!! :D

To quote Clayton,

"Rest in Peace, Anatevka!"

Fiddler - Strike & Post Party

The day after the show, we took down all the props and set pieces....so sad!!!
