About The Show


Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to marry off his daughters and instill in them a sense of tradition in the face of growing anti-Semitism in Czarist Russia.

Roles Avaliable


TEVYE
is the heart and conscience of Fiddler on the Roof JR. Tevye is often cast as a larger young man, but his stature really comes from his integrity and zest for life. Tevye should be able to show the wide range of conflict, joy and pain that this character feels throughout the story.
GOLDE
is the backbone of the family. She has a rather gruff exterior, but in her heart is sheer dedication to her family. She runs the household, and must be able to keep Tevye s more emotional side in check. Conversely, she should be able to show a softer side when dealing with Chava and Tevye’s rift.
TZEITEL
is the oldest daughter of Tevye and Golde. She is the first to challenge the traditions of Anatevka by pleading with her father to let her marry Motel the tailor, to whom she has pledged her love. She is the oldest daughter, is determined and can manipulate her father.
HODEL
is a strong, independent middle child. She is outspoken but respectful. She has her eye on the Rabbi’s son at the outset of the story, but she is charmed by the revolutionary Perchick the moment she meets him, though she may not show it right away. Her dedication and love is real as she follows him to Siberia.
CHAVA
is the scholarly daughter who loves to read. Her love for the Russian, Fyedka, tests her father to the very limit and provides the largest conflict in the story.
SHPRINTZE and BIELKE
are the youngest daughters of Tevye and Golde. They are considerably younger than the three “matchmaker” daughters.
MOTEL
is the poor, young tailor who is charmed with Tzeitel. He is sensitive and nervous, yet lovable portrayal.
PERCHIK
is a young student who brings with him radical new ideas that challenge the traditions of the community. He is a strong character, and clashes with Tevye idealistically, but is likable, charming and ultimately becomes a loyal family member.
LAZAR WOLF
is a butcher, the town’s wealthiest citizen and is the same age as, if not older, than, Tevye. Lazar must appear rather distasteful and feisty, which is why Tzeitel is frightened to marry him.
FIDDLER
FIDDLER is a silent role, yet an important one, and can easily be played by either a boy or a girl.
YENTE
is the middle-aged widow who matches up the young people of the village in hopes that they will marry. She is a village busybody and knows all the news of the town.
CONSTABLE
is the local sheriff representing the Russian government. The constable is caught between his good nature towards the people of Anatevka and his duty to the non-Jewish Russian government.
FYEDKA
is a strong, young, Russian soldier who falls in love with Chava.
MORDCHA, YUSSEL, AVRAM, the RABBI and MENDEL
Mordcha is a friendly, interesting innkeeper. Yussel is a hatter. Avram is a bookseller. Mendel is the Rabbi’s son. The Rabbi is the spiritual center of the community. He should have a comic feel, although this is a serious role.
ENSEMBLES, VILLAGERS, RUSSIAN SOLDIERS

Sides

Beth Bradley

But I guess it wasn’t like that for Imogene. For her, the Christmas pageant turned out to be all wonder and mystery, as if she just caught on to what Christmas was all about. When it was over we had a party in the basement, but the Herdmans didn’t stay. They didn’t have any cocoa and they didn’t walk off with all the cookies, and they wouldn’t even take their candy canes.


Mother

Well let me tell you, Helen Armstrong is not the only woman alive who can run a Christmas Pageant! I made up my mind just to do the best I could under the circumstances, but now I’m going to make this the best Christmas Pageant ever, and I’m going to do it with the Herdmans! After all, they raised their hands and nobody else did. And you're going to help me!


Father

Well…actually, I didn’t plan to go. You know how crowded it is, they can use my seat. I’ll just stay home, put on my bathrobe, relax… There’s never anything different about the Christmas pageant. Away in a Manger always sounds to me like a closet full of mice. Does that mean I have to go?


Alice Wendleken

I didn’t dare raise my hand. Imogene would have killed me! She said, “I’m going to be Mary in this play, and if you open your mouth or raise your hand you’ll wish you didn’t.” And I said, “I’m always Mary in the Christmas pageant.” And she said, “Go ahead then, and next spring when the pussywillows come out I’ll stick a pussywillow so far down your ear that nobody can reach it…and it’ll sprout there and grow and grow, and you’ll spend the rest of your life with a pussywillow bush growing out of your ear!”


Charlie Bradley

My favorite thing about church is there are no Herdmans! I don’t care what everyone else said, that’s what they really thought. All that other stuff is okay but the main good thing about church is that the Herdmans aren’t there, ever. They’re all the worst one. Gladys isn’t big, but she’s fast, and she’s mean, and she bites. I stay away from them, I go to church.


Imogene Herdman

Oil? What kind of present is oil? We get better presents from the welfare! If they’re kings, they can get the baby out of the barn, and tell the innkeeper where to get off! Well I wouldn’t just hang around out in the barn. I’d go get a room. Then I’d throw somebody out. I’d tell them I’ve got this baby and it’s the middle of winter…so either get out or move over.


Gladys Herdman

Shazam! Out of the black night, with horrible vengeance, the Mighty Marvo… (gets interrupted) The Mighty Marvo, in Amazing comics. Out of the black night, with horrible vengeance… (gets interrupted again) Out of nowhere, right? In the black of night, right? Shazam!


Ralph/Leroy/Claude/Ollie Herdman

Who’s Herod in the play? He’s out to kill the baby, and he isn’t even in the play? Let Charlie be Herod, and he says, go get me that baby. And they say okay, because he’s a king and all…but then they don’t do it! They go back and get Herod! Joseph gets the shepherds together and they go wipe out Herod!
