STUDIO 406 Wants you!

To produce a major musical production like Fiddler on the Roof requires a surprising number of talented and skilled individuals -- actors, singers, dancers, artists, and technicians. It also requires a great deal of work and effort -- but it is always a "labor of love" -- for what other undertaking brings baout the ultimate entertainment of people as theater?
Join us ... we meet the first Wednesday of every month right here in the Recreation Center, 7:00 p.m. Whatever your talent, skill, or hobby may be, we have a vial and exciting place for you in our next production ... and besides, we have a lot of fun too!

SHOLEM ALEICHEM
Fiddler on the Roof is based on the short stories of the Russian Jewish writer Sholem Aleichem, which is Yiddish for "Peace Unto You" and is the pen name for Solomon Rabinowitch. His stories, all written in Yiddish, have been translated into most of the important languages of the Western World, and are enjoyed by Jews and Gentiles alike. Although he has been called the "Jewish Mark Twain," "the Jewish Dickens," and "the modern Heine," he was more than these. He was unique, a genius whose writings are the perfect expression of a people, their mind, their heart, their wit, and above all their special idiom. He died in New York in 1916 and is buried in Brooklyn. His grave has become a shrine and every many Jews go there to pay homage to him

Music ... the Universal Language

Studio 406 is most fortunate -- in our production of Fiddler on the Roof -- in bringing about for the first time a blending of Portuguese and American muisical talent in the performance of an acclaimed international musical! For weeks, the group of highly talented and dedicated musicans you will see before you tonight have practiced their various intstrumental parts. The rehearsal that brought together the combined talents of Portuguese and American artists was truly an exciting event for everyone involved. Theatre has been man's highest ideal since the Dawn of Civilization, and We the People of Terceira Island -- both Portuguese and American -- are proud to be working together to advance this most exciting of human achievements!
