I agree this was a tragedy!!! I was pregnant with my 4th child when I was in the production of Fiddler on the Roof at the Promise Valley Playhouse in 1981. My husband and I preformed as Bennie and Susan in Desert Song in 1989 less than 6 months before my husband passed away. My 4 children went to many productions there. The playhouse has many wonderful memories for me and my family. It gave people in the community an opportunity to show off their talents, or give them that get away they needed that only the theater can give. Two of my daughters graduated college in the field of theater. Where can you go to have that experience now? So many of the live theater’s use their already established cast/talents, so the possibility of getting a part during tryouts is slim at best.
