April, 2010 — VOLUME XXIV, Number 4 Ue Sout Any Spa ANI OT Published for and about local people and events It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane... It’s a Fiddler on the Roof!! It’s spring 1 musical time at Mount Tabor. To mark thelr 25" anniversary, the Marysburgh Mum- mers have spent the last two months developing “Fiddler on the Roof” for the stage. “We have about 50 cast members and another 20 folks working behind the scenes to make this hap- pen.” says Director, Monica Alyea. “Carol Rutledge has pulled together the vocal music; Jim Freeland is organizing the accompaniment and Hilary (Fennell) Hunter is in charge of the dancing. Mix in Al Hazell for stage managing, Bruce Dowdell for the technical stage requirements, Dee Evans producing and this is a dream team. And the cast is amazing... very fast, very committed! It’s a big production for the Tabor stage. It’s a story of another culture —a small community with lots of “characters” but threatened with their loss of identi- ty and traditions — making this story feel somewhat close to home. Hicks General Store is scheduled to open April.1. They will have tickets so stop in for your gas, newspaper, milk, coffee, etc and get yours. The show runs April 16,17,18, 23,24,25. - Monica Alyea The County Reads Come to Books & Co on Picton Main Street at 1:30 p.m., Sunday April 18, for The County Reads.
