The Calhoun Entertainment Company is preparing for their upcoming Spring Musical “Fiddler on the Roof” beginning this Thursday, March, 14 and running Friday and Saturday the 15 and 16 with a Sunday, March 17, matinee.
The Entertainment Company has previously done this musical in 1992 at the Old Hardin Grade School Gymnasium. They reprised it in 2007 in their new home the Center for American Archeology Gym. This will be the third time presenting this performance however every time is different as the cast changes. This year’s cast includes the lead role Tevya played by Jerry Sievers who is also the director and founder of CEC. His wife Bonnie will play his on screen wife Goldie.
Tevya has five daughters in the musical played by Mary Pluester, Ellie Nolte, Callie Hall, Avery Stahl all veteran CEC members and CEC newcomer Summer Schneider. The daughters boyfriends will be played by Kerry Paul Friedel, Lindsey Watters and Bryant Friedel. “The Matchmaker” is another CEC Veteran Julie Godar.
The “Fiddler” is Reagan Clendenny who began with Calhoun Entertainment Company at age 3 in their production of “Annie” and has continued to be involved in most of the musicals.
Lisa Warner is the choreographer. This is her 15th year.
The cost of putting on this musicals is very expensive, it’s costly just to get the rights to the musicals. The entertainment company is very thankful to the Kampsville American Legion and Sons of the Kampsville Legion for their generous donations as well as a grant from Two Rivers Arts Council. They also very much appreciate the Hardin Presbyterian Church for providing them with rehearsal space and the Center for American Archeology for providing them with a home to showcase their performance.
Tickets are still available at the Northside, and all branches of the Bank of Calhoun and Bank of Kampsville.
