Well it's been about a week since Fiddler On The Roof closed, and I miss it very much. I enjoyed all 37 performances, and learned more in the process than I have in any other production. Performing such iconic numbers on-stage with such wonderfully gracious and talented people made memories I will never forget, and [...]
The second to last day of our Fiddler on the Roof run was a Friday. That evening, 30 minutes before the performance, cast and crew gathered in the green room.

I had extremely high expectations coming to Barrington because of the people I know who have worked here in the past, the fabulous people [...]

From the talk-back with the lyricist, Sheldon Harnick, to the party that followed the show, I had chills running down my spine. Since the first day of [...]
Every morning I wake up and remind myself how lucky I am to have this incredible opportunity as one of four musical theatre apprentices at Barrington this summer. Having just completed my sophomore year at Syracuse, “Fiddler on the Roof” has been my first truly professional, equity production. Rehearsals have been a challenge -- we [...]
