Final Fiddler Cast Party

[CLICK A THUMBNAIL FOR THE LARGER IMAGE]
The final party was held at the director's beautiful home. He has a passion for things Fiddler if you couldn't tell! A program from the Theo Bikel run of the play.  Ana got to see Theo perform and then meet him backstage when she was in Fiddler in 1978 and his touring company came thru San Jose.
Mazel Tov!  It says it all! Charles played Labish the baker, but we called him "bagel man." Here he is arriving at the party with loaves of bread. He couldn't wait to get rid of his beard ... he shaved it off at the shop just as soon as we unloaded all the set pieces and props.  Then he started a trend ...
Michael decided he needed to remove at least part of his beard ... ... the finished product, at least for the night!
Then Joey got into the act. He modeled a half-beard for a few pictures before he took it all off! Looks like a Jekyll and Hyde sort of thing, don't ya think!?
Aaron did a partial shave as well. George can wait until he gets home. He still has all of his Tevye beard.

Then there was the presentation of awards. Charles gives Doug and Dan a litle something, and they share their words of thanks.
The Schultz's arrived after awhile and got their prize too. Joyce looks on.
