LC Playhouse Launches ‘Fiddler’

Steve Kane, a friend of mine, will be performing his first major role (Tevye) when the Lake City Playhouse production of “Fiddler on the Roof” opens tonight , running through Oct. 9. Steve looks like Tevya. I’ve already bought tickets and play to attend during the final week of the show. I admire theater actors because they’re willing to get on stage, and they have to remember so many lines. As an eighth-grader, I was one of the beads in a living rosary and forgot the lines to the opening part of “Hail Mary.” I was the only one of 53 “Hail Mary” beads that did so. Needless to say, I never had the nerve to perform on stage. How about you? (SR file photo, for illustrative purposes: William Rhodes as Tevya in Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre production)

Question: Have you ever performed in live theater at any level? Which play? Which role?
