Fiddler on the Roof (1996)
Either my scheme to gain this role by first joining the theatre for Flower Drum Song had been successful, or I was just born to play a young, insecure, Jewish tailor. I was cast as Motel Kamzoil in a show voted Bryan/College Station's community theatre production of the year.In this show, I was reunited with two San Marcos High classmates who had both moved to College Station since graduation. Amy Hanna, who had been in Bye Bye Birdie with me in San Marcos (now Amy Rizzo) played the part of Hodel. And Traci Edwards (now Traci Hovel), played the title role. This show didn't require me to use spirit gum, but I did have to show the world (or at least my small corner of it) how poorly I grow actual facial hair. Three moments from the show are captioned below each photo.
