For the first time, Bloom- field Players veteran Kay- Ellen Klein Murphy will be on stage with her two daughters, Jillian, 9, and Dianna, 51/2. Mrs. Murphy plays Yente, the matchmaker. "The first play I was ever in was Fiddler 25 years ago," she said. "We performed it in Hebrew at Adat Shalom Synagogue when I was 12. I can remember singing 'Sun- rise, Sunset' in Hebrew." Another town gossip, but not quite as much as Yente, is Avrahm, the bookseller, played by attorney Ron Strote. "This group is multi-ethnic," Mr. Strote said. "All of its plays have been multi- generational, transcending all age groups, from retirees to young kids." Sheri Brown is years away from having grandchildren, but the mother of four (ages 7-16) will get an early oppor- tunity to play grandma as Tzeitel. For the Bloomfield resident, it is literally a "dream" role. "The dead grandma comes back in a dream to tell Tevye and Golde that their daughter, Tzeitel, should not marry the butcher, Lazar Wolf," she explained. Playing Lazar Wolf is Larry Miller, who has appeared in four Bloomfield Players pro- ductions, including its first one, The Music Man, in which he starred as Professor Henry Hill. "One nice thing about this show is that I am once again working with my daughter, Joanna, and I'm hopefully giving her some tradition right now in the show," said Dr. Miller, a dentist. While her husband and daughter are acting together, Carole Miller performs off stage as the show's producer. "I am basically a liaison be- tween the executive producer and the cast," said Mrs. Miller, who was previously co- producer for Bloomfield Players' South Pacific and assistant producer for The Wiz. Directing her third Fiddler show is Bloomfield resident Kathi Bush, a veteran of hun- dreds of local productions. She said, "This is probably one of the best written shows there is because you have humor, you have pathos, and you have great music." Perhaps the show's pianist, Delma Reid, a resident of Lathrup Village, sums it up best. Ms. Reid is getting her first taste of the Bloomfield Players and Fiddler. "As a black American, Fid- dler represents a new area of music for me, and I'm glad to be part of it."
