A Note From the Dramaturge By: Jayson Borenstein What is Fiddler on the Roof about? Tevye and his daughters? Russian pogroms in a Jewish village? When stripped to its very roots, Fiddler on the Roof is about tradition. Tevye, his daughters, and the pogroms are just the means for conveying these traditions. The opening of the show makes it very clear that tradition is the cornerstone of life in Anatevka. As Tevye puts it, they “have traditions for everything: how to eat, how to sleep, and how to wear clothes.” It’s true. The Jewish religion has traditions dating back thousands of years for these exact things. For example, according to the Torah, Jews have certain dietary restrictions known as the laws of kashrut. Among these laws, Jews can not eat pork, shellfish, mix dairy and meat together, and more. In regards to clothing, as seen in Fiddler, Jews are required to keep their heads covered and wear a prayer shawl. These are not the only traditions that we see in Anatevka. We see Shabbat being observed on a Friday night, kissing mezuzahs when walking through doorways, arranged marriages, separation between men and women, among many others. While the preexisting traditions of the time are important to the show, Fiddler is more about challenging these traditions. All Jewish marriages were arranged by a matchmaker from the people in the village. Arranging your own marriage in the way that Tzeitel and Motel did was truly unheard of at the time. However, it is clear why Tevye allows the marriage to happen: Motel is a Jew from the village. The traditions are still more or less being observed, there’s just no matchmaker. Tradition is tested again with Hodel and Perchik. Perchik is Jewish but not from Anatevka. Tevye accepts them. Another break in tradition. Tevye is ultimately tested with the relationship of Chava and Fyedka. This is too much for Tevye. Marrying outside of the faith is too far from the tradition. Tevye does not want to see the traditions go away altogether. The pogroms also test tradition. How will the people of Anatevka survive without each other and the place they have known their entire life? Everything they knew about life is completely changed. They will never be able to live the same traditional lifestyle that they have been used to. These people are forced to leave their homes and go where they will not be accepted. Some of the big issues that our society faces today are things that Tevye could have never imagined. What if one of Tevye’s daughters wanted to have a same-sex marriage? What if one of his daughters was transgender? What if one of his daughters wanted an abortion? Times change but it all depends on whether people are willing to change with the times. Fiddler on the Roof has been performed all over the world from the United States to England to Japan to Israel and many, many others. Why is this? This is because every culture can relate to having their traditions questioned. No matter what your background is, sometime in history one of your traditions have been questioned. Fiddler might be about a Jewish village but the story is universal to everyone!
A When Jewish refugees poured into Eastern Europe following the Crusades, Polish rulers welcomed them because of their experience in commerce and industry. The Poles granted the Jews privileges and liberties, religious freedom, and community self-government. As a result, Eastern Europe became a center of Jewish culture. Over many hundreds of years, the shtetl, the small-town Jewish community of Eastern Europe, developed a way of life uniquely its own. Socially and legally, the shtetl was entity itself, isolated from the non-Jewish world. Shtetl inhabitant spoke Yiddish, wrote and read Hebrew, and bargained with outsiders in broken Polish or Ukrainian. Despite local variations, the Jews of the shtetls of Eastern Europe had one culture with a common language, religion, and set of values. As a result of the partition of Poland during the reign of Catherine the great in the late 1700s, Russia, which had traditionally admitted only tiny numbers of Jews, was suddenly faced with a new population of 600,000 people who seemed alien in every way. Under Catherine the Great, the Jews were legally classified as city-dwellers and their presence in the villages or shtetl s became illegal. The threat of being ordered to move into the town threatened the livelihood of rural Jews and impoverished those who were driven into the crowded Jewish quarters of the cities. The Jews had no right of residence in the Russian interior and could live in the Pale of Permanent Settlement, where they did not have the rights of the “natives”. Their self-governance was ended; they were subject to a variety of special taxes, could not be officers in the army, and were excluded from state employment. During the reign of Alexander II, who became Tsar in 1855, the lot of the Jews began to improve slowly. However, Jewish hopes for further reforms were dashed with Alexander’s assassination on March 13, 1881. The reign of his thirty-six year old son, Alexander III, from 1881-1894, was marked by a reactionary assault against revolutionaries and reformers. Alexander II’s government aggressively set out to “Russify” all non-Russian minorities. As part of this policy, government bureaucrats supported outbursts of anti-Semitism and many of them had an indirect hand in the bloody anti-Jewish riots, known as pogroms. Officials in the Tsar’s government found a semblance of intellectual respectability for their own anti-Semitism in the growing anti-Semitism in Germany. To escape persecution, many Jews emigrated to the United States, the Near East, western Europe, and Canada. Others, seeking to survive, either formed Jewish revolutionary organizations or joined Russian revolutionary forces. Tsar Nicholas II replaced Alexander III, who died of nephritis, in 1894. Under Nicholas, the flood of official steps harmful to the Jewish population continued. By 1898, new political and social forces were at work inside and outside Russia which drastically altered its direction and development. These forces converged in 1905 to produce a revolution that was preceded by the assassination of high-ranking government officials. Because the revolutionary movement contained many Jews, Russian authorities directed their fury against them. In April, 1903, there were violent pogroms in Kishniev and Bessarabia. The Kishniev pogrom was motivated by local anti-Semites who spread false tales of a ritual murder to incite the populace. During the pogrom, government officials gave orders to let the rioters have their way for two days before ordering troops and police to stop them. In the spring and summer of 1904, a wave of pogroms swept the country. Worse pogroms followed in the fall of 1905 when over 600 Jewish communities were affected and about 1,000 Jews were killed. The pogrom in Fiddler on the Roof took place during this time. Although pogroms ceased after 1906, as did other major disturbances, the condition of Russian Jewry was not greatly improved by the changes brought about by the Revolution of 1905. By 1906, more than 2 million Jews had emigrated from Russia, primarily to the United States. Among them was Sholem Aleichem. The wars and revolutions of the twentieth century and Hitler’s destruction of 6 million Jews wiped out the shtetls that once stretched from the eastern borders of Germany to Russia. While the physical shtetl with its way of life and way of thought disappeared, a small part of that world was preserved for us by Sholem Aleichem and made accessible to audiences around the world by the creators of Fiddler on the Roof.
Welcome to our production of Fiddler on the Roof. To know me is to know this is one of my favorite musicals. Its universal theme touches so many lives. We are all so wrapped up in our own ways or traditions and when someone dares to change a deep rooted tradition, we often struggle to accept new ways. There’s great comfort in traditions, whether it be our religion or lack of it. It could be what we eat, who we root for, or how we celebrate holidays. To quote Tevye, “Without our traditions our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof.” So as we travel through the lives of Tevye, his family, and his friends, let us look at our own traditions and ask if we ourselves can change. Hopefully for the better. I know as I get ready to retire this June, I’m going to have to make many changes in my life. Changes that will be better for me, and also for my family and friends. Yet I know deep down, I’m ready to move on and pass the East Theater traditions to Pete, Sandi, and the rest of the East Theater Production Staff; thank you for all your help and support in making our theater program one of the best. Eleven years ago I promised Bob Nation, our past theater program director, that I would keep this rich educational theater tradition going. I know you will do the same, yet don’t be afraid to grow and even modify some of our traditions. Always look to make East High School Theater a better place whenever you can. I am certain our theater students will be in good hands. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your work and love of East Theater.
Who cares about high school theatre? In reading Dramatics Magazine a few weeks ago I came across this excerpt, written by Sophia Moore-Smith, a recent graduate of Rutland High School in Vermont. She asked the question: “So, what have I gotten out of being a Thespian and how will this serve me in my future?” Her answer tells us all we need to know about the purpose of High School Theater. She said: “I can spontaneously meet a group of strangers, set a goal, agree on a plan of action, and execute it. I can discuss with my team an unrealized vision, articulate the benefits of this vision, and persuade them that this is the best approach for the group. I can listen to and appreciate the viewpoints and goals of others and either support that tact, advocate for my own approach, or contribute to the synthesis of a multifaceted outcome. I can disagree with civility and respect. I can be disagreed with without losing composure. I can achieve results within budget and time constraints. I can appreciate and coordinate with competing departments’ needs for the director’s time, the theatre space, etc. I can hear, ‘No we don’t have time for that’ or ‘it’s not in the budget’ and collaborate on an innovative solution. I can schedule and work independently but also incorporate my efforts with the master schedule. I can take criticism, and it spurs me to improve and consider the wishes of others. I can organize a work schedule as well as supervise and mentor fellow students. Theatre makes one adaptable to ever-changing circumstances. In these ways, being a thespian has been my practicum. Many people talk about athletics preparing them for work and life. The diligence, perseverance, and teamwork inspired in them are lifechanging. Theatre has been my sport.” So, to those who feel educational high school theatre is just some silly after school club or activity, all I can say is your son or daughter will be better off for all their work and dedication to theatre. Be proud of what they are doing now and what they can become in the future.

Cherry Hill East’s production of GYPSY in March of 1978 marked the inception of “The Thespian Mirror” as the program magazine for productions at Cherry Hill School East produced by the International Thespian Society. The name is borrowed from the historical document discovered while researching in Theatre History classes. First published in 1805, the original was a critical journal by a young aspiring actor, John Howard Payne, who from the age of 14 and or the next 20 years became well known as a performer, playwright, and critic. He wrote 50-60 plays during his career. Of these, the best known include BRUTUS (1818) and CHARLES II (1824). He holds the prestigious position in history as America’s first internationally successful dramatist. Our program title seems fitting then as young aspiring actors before you tonight strive for the success which Payne proved possible even as a child prodigy and since we subscribe to Aristotle’s philosophy that good theatre must truly “mirror” our existence. We proudly celebrate 39 years of MIRROR as the program magazine for our mainstage productions. We thank our advertisers for making this what it is today!
I have been working for the Cherry Hill School District for 16 years and enjoy every second. I am the technology coordinator for Cherry Hill East H.S.

It is true that time flies when you’re having fun! Working with Tom Weaver, the cast and the crew is such a blast as well as a huge learning experience. WHAT AN AMAZING TEAM! To my wife, Jaime of 29 years (whom I can’t thank enough for filling in at home for me while I’m creating the Mirror), and to my sons Jordan23, Hunter-19 & Jake-19, I’m so proud of all your accomplishments! I am dedicating this Mirror to you, you make each and every day such a memorable one! To the cast & crew, I am still blown away every time I watch these shows. Your dedication and determination is truly unmatched 365 days a year! Mr. Weaver, it is truly a pleasure to work side by side with you and the students year after year! Thank you for your friendship and mentoring all these years! I will miss you so much! What a legacy your leaving behind, East’s AWESOME Thespian Society!
