Lil' Heebs
So, the 2009 summer camp production of Fiddler on the Roof was a smashing success. The kids totally looked like little Russian Jew folk from a century ago. The 9 yr old who played the lead even had a thick, unintelligible Russian accent that made up for the fact that he didn't understand most of the play's content. (Pogrom? L'Chaim? Reb Tevye? Actually, that last one was his character's name.) Seriously, this was probably the worst possible choice that could have been made for a summer camp play, IF the intention was for the kids to have any fun at all. But, they did a great job nonetheless, were pretty cute, and convincingly jewy. I feel like this play choice was a cheap shot. Anyway, it's over, and I'll be home tomorrow. YESSS
