....
I can't believe what I'm considering doing.

I haven't done anything like this since -- maybe -- 1991-1992 or so.

But I am *definitely* being pulled.

Like it would a) be fun and b) drag me out of this slump I've been in and c) give my kids a chance to see a side of me they're TOTALLY unfamiliar and d) dust off some skills I haven't used in decades....

Still...

Ulp...

I'm actually thinking of auditioning for a local community theater's production of "Fiddler on the Roof."

I think I'm world-weary enough (and gray enough) at this period in my life to be a somewhat-convincing Tevye.

...

IF I can get my knees to stop knocking long enough to audition.

Oy.

 

[Ender's Mom]

GO FOR IT!!!

 

[snicksmom]

I agree...definitely go for it!

 

[Retriever Mama]

"If I were a rich man...deedle deedle deedle didle dee...."

Oh come on....you'll have a blast!!

And ... you could practice singing Sunrise/Sunset to your girls....ok...now I'm getting all teary eyed....

 

[Canula2000]

Fun!!! Do it!!!

 

[Thunders Mom]

You'll be GREAT and have FUN!

 

[dweck]

They ARE also looking for girls to play Tevye's daughters. DW#2 has expressed interest in getting involved in theater......

 

[Clanceycanuck]

DO IT ! You'll be great

 

[jzgrlduff]

Singing, Dan? I don't know anything about Fiddler......

 

[SamIAmSIL]

how much fun would that be!?!? GO FOR IT!! And keep us updated!

 

[dweck]

Singing, Dan? I don't know anything about Fiddler......

Singing, yes. And I'm fairly sure I can pull that off. It's not opera.

Acting. Doable, I guess. Not sure if a cradle Catholic can pull off a devout Jew, especially a cradle Catholic with such blatant Irish looks as mine. Maybe a beard.....

But I'm most concerned about the dancing. Sure, Tevye's not supposed to be w/the Bolshoi, but I'm not exactly fleet-of-foot, either.

 

[Ender's Mom]

Doesn't the guy just shake his belly for the most part? (dancing)

 

[Lexis Mom]

Dan... go for it!!! It sounds like fun.

If ya make it, I'll even come see you perform. I don't think I live that far from you.

 

[Labradorable]

Go for it!!

 

[luke from georgia]

you can do it! sounds like fun, you'll have a blast.

 

[zoezoe]

Yep...go for it!

 

[dweck]

Doesn't the guy just shake his belly for the most part? (dancing)

BAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Hey, waitaminute... I may have killed my own chances to get cast in this role.

Quick. Someone hand me some Cadbury eggs.

 

[amazongold]

Sunrise, sunset ... swiftly flow the years ... one season following another - and you will forever regret it if you don't at least try, Dan!

GO FOR IT!!!

 

[IzzyLucyWillie]

Go for it. It would be fun especially if your daughter is in it too.

 

[theoconbrio]

Go for it! You would make an awesome Tzeitel.

"Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match!" <--- Can't you see it??
