Chapters
A fiddler on the roof! It sounds crazy, no? But here in our little village of Anatevka, you might say that every one of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. Ah, this is easy. You may ask, why do we stay up if it's so dangerous? We stay because Anatevka is our home. And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word. Tradition! Here at Anatevka, we have traditions for everything. How to eat, how to sleep, how to wear clothes. For instance, we always keep our heads covered and we always wear a little prayer shawl. This shows our constant devotion to God. Because of our traditions, everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do. To remind the children, say his daily prayers, and as the wife, as master of the house, to have the final word at home. The Papa, the Papa's tradition. The Papa, the Papa's tradition. You must know the way to make a proper home, a quiet home, a kosher home. You must make At 3 I started Hebrew school, at 10 I learned a trade. Why here they picked a bride for me? I hope she's pretty. The sun, the sun, it's early sun. The sun, the sun, it's early sun. And who does Mama teach to mend hands, hands, and face? Preparing me to marry whoever thought of this. And here in Anatevka, we've always had our special types. For instance, Yentl the matchmaker. Avram, I have the perfect match for your son, a wonderful girl. Who is it? Rachel, the shoemaker's daughter. But she can hardly see, she's almost blind. Tell the truth, Abram, is your son so much to look at? The way she sees and the way he looks, it's a perfect match! Stop! And written up the better, oh, the more, oh, the more. Here, that novel is 1 kopeck. 1 kopeck? Last week you gave me 2 kopecks. Will I have a bad week? Sad! If you have a bad week, why should I suffer? Ah! And most important of all, our beloved rabbi. Rabbi, may I ask you a question? Certainly, my son. Is there a proper blessing for the tsar? A proper blessing for the tsar? Yes, of course! May God bless and keep the Tsar far away from us. [MUSIC] They make a much bigger circle. He's honored the constable, he's honored the priest, he's honored the many others. We don't bother them, and so far they don't bother us. And here among ourselves, we get along perfectly well. Well, there was this one time, Eve sold him a horse and he delivered a mule, but that's all settled now. Now we live in perfect peace and harmony. Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as— as— as a fiddler on the roof! We've been hard on these pieces since June, and we're really excited to show them to you. Tonight we will present this mosaic of performances, both comedic and dramatic, both spectacular and heartfelt. We're really grateful for all of your support, so I know I can speak for all of us when I say thank you, and I hope you enjoy. By Joseph Stein, Fiddler on the Roof is a musical set in Imperial Russia around 1905. The story centers on Tevye, a milkman who attempts to maintain his Jewish traditions as outside influences invade his family's lives. He must cope with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters who wish to marry for love, whose choices of husbands are successively worse in Tevye's traditional eyes. The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964, had the first musical theater in history to surpass 3,000 performances. It won 9 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Score, Book, Direction, and Choreography. It spawned 5 Broadway revivals and a highly successful 1971 film adaptation, and has enjoyed enduring international popularity. What you just watched was Tradition, the opening number explaining Tevye's lifestyle and laying the groundwork for most of the conflict later on. Before we jump into it, it is my absolute pleasure to introduce to you our accompanists Kelly Dahan! Kelly teaches his own MBT class at Mountain Ridge High School. He also has been the head music director at Hale Center Theater. We are ecstatic to have him back for another MBT review. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Without further ado, Riverton High's NDT proudly presents Into the Unknown! Popular comic strip with music by Clark Kesner. Clark Kesner didn't initially intend to turn the Peanuts songs into a musical. He was later convinced to. The plot of the musical is based upon Charlie Brown and his friends' lives. It starts with all of Charlie's friends describing him as a good character Then Lucy expresses her infatuation with Schroeder, who plays the piano while they talk about marriage. Then Lucy screams for a football while Snoopy is relaxing and sings a song about being the best dog in the world. Eventually, 4 characters all start doing a book report on Peter Rabbit. All of them have different writing styles and write in their own special ways. In 1999, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown won the Tony Award for Best Actor and Actress in a Musical. It opened originally in 1967 in New York and had over 1,500 performances and later had a sequel, a musical comedy named Snoopy. The musical number of Book Report will be performed by Avery Emity as Lucy, Zaden Gates as Linus, Reese Clarico as Schroeder, and Sam McDaniel as Charlie Brown. We now present Book Report. A book report on Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit is a storybook about a stupid rabbit who lives in a watering trough. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. 83 to go. The name of the book about which this book report is about is Peter Rabbit, which is about this rabbit. I found it very— I liked the part where— it was— it reminded me of Robin Hood. Sheriff was getting ready to ride off, but he rode the wrong way and he saw the wolf and his men rushing in. The owl flew. Peter Rabbit did sort of that kind of thing too. The owl peeked his head above the dam. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. In examining a book such as Peter Rabbit It is important that the superficial characteristics of a deceptively simple plot should not be able to blind the reader to the more substantial fabric of its deeper motivations. In this report, I plan to discuss the sociological implications of family pressures so strong as to drive an otherwise moral rabbit to perform acts of thievery which he consciously knew or against the law. I also plan to discuss Mr. McGregor's conflicting role as humanitarian and farmer. It is established from the start that he rides a cow to where the animals are. Something should happen, why doesn't this always happen? I should be outside playing, getting fresh air and sunshine. I work focused under pressure and know lots of pressure is high. Wait till tomorrow, I should start writing now. But if I start writing now when I'm not really rested, it could upset my thinking, which is no good at all. The name of the rabbit's ear. 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. Down came the staff on his head, thud! And Robin fell like a sack full of red crumbs. The sheriff laughed and he left him for dead, ha! But he was wrong. 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. Joe said an arrow went whoosh! It was a sign there was violence to be dealt with. The dead ghost spied the sheriff and went pop! But not alone. Away they ran, just like rabbits who run a lot, as you can tell from the story of Peter Rabbit, which this report is about. How do they expect us to write a book before they've reached the farm? Rabbit, fox, and the smart horse beyond. And they were very, very, very, very, very, very happy to be home. And the very, very, very Amen. The Rotary Port of Peter Rabbit. These response to the tragedy that rocked the world. One of the pilots that alerted to Gander on 9/11 was Captain Beverly Bass. Me in the Sky is a song about Captain Mace's journey to becoming a pilot and how 9/11 affected her life. My parents must have thought they had a crazy kid, 'cause I was one of those kids who always knew what I wanted. They took me down to the airport to see all the planes, watching the glass on the inside of me started moving. I was 8, I knew that I'd be a pilot. But I was too young and too short and there were no female captains. And my dad didn't even pay attention, he said, "Just see what happens." But I took my first lesson, came down from the sky, told my father I'd fly for the rest of my life. And I got my first job flying for a mortician in a tiny Bonanza, just the corpse and me. Bye-bye, ghost. An hour for flying dead bodies. I had to climb over their face just to get to my seat. Suddenly the wheels lift off the ground. It's falling backwards. I am suddenly alive. Suddenly I'm in in a cockpit. Suddenly everything's changed. Suddenly I'm not too young or too short, and the passengers in the back don't complain. Suddenly I'm flying company charters. Suddenly everything's high. Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky. Airlines had the prettiest planes, so I applied as a flight engineer. But the World War II pilots, they all complained. They said girls shouldn't be in the cockpit. They laid me, hey baby, hey, why don't you grab us a drink? And the flight attendants weren't my friends back then, and they said, are you better than us, do you think? But I kept getting hired and the World War II crew, they retired and the girls all got much higher up. 1986, the first female American captain in history. Suddenly I'm in the cockpit. Suddenly I've got my wings. Suddenly all of the pilots Protesting me? Well, they can get their own trains. Suddenly there's no one staying safe, grounded, looking down, passing them by. Suddenly there's no one in between me and the sky. Suddenly I've got an all-female crew. The news caught and they had lies across the world. Suddenly it stopped. No one's saying it can't or You're not anything because you're a girl. Suddenly I'm getting married. We're pins on a map where we flow. Suddenly I am a mother. And suddenly shocked at how much they've grown. Suddenly I'm wondering how my parents would feel seeing me teaching them to be fathers. And suddenly I am I'm a senior instructor and somehow I'm 51. Suddenly I'm flying Paris to Dallas across sea and land again. I feel a call when suddenly someone on the air-to-air track says that 846-5 minutes' error is action. And the one thing I love more than anything was who's at the bomb. Suddenly I'm in a hotel. Suddenly something has died. Suddenly there's something in between me and the And music by Roger Glover. The story centers on a gold miner and his dog. Painter Wagon follows the lives of the people in a mining camp in the the Gold Rush era of California. The musical ran on Broadway in 1951 and closed after 298 performances. In 1969, the film version, also titled Major Wagon, was released. The song "I'm on My Way," written by Frederick Loewe, tells the story of settlers, played by the MDT Men, who have heard about the Gold Rush and are ready to move north to make their fortunes in California mining for gold. The MDT Men present "I'm on My Way." Pete, I'm movin'! Where? North. Some friends come through and told me the old bummer hit a pocket nap. I gotta strike it and get home to my wife. Where are you going? I don't know. I'll tell ya when I get there. Where I'm going, I don't know. Where I'm headed, I ain't certain. All I know is I am on my way. Where I'm going, I don't know.

I ain't certain. Boy, and I can't get what you say, but who gives a damn? We're on our way. I ain't got nothing but snake rock around here, but I got a hunch this time my luck's going to change. And when it does, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to open the goddamn darkest music hall in California you ever seen. Felt can stack wherever you look, so that nice, pretty white Come on, little angel, tap me on the ankle. Where am I going? I don't know. Where am I heading? I ain't certain. Oh yeah, you got me there. When will I be there? I don't know. Been looking at the horizon searching all around. No reason, I am on my way. Got a dream, boy, got a song. Hitch your wagon and come along. It's north, that way, old copper. North. Now I met an old man in Sacramento who swears by the saints that there's a lake of gold up there. You hear me?

The version is about a young Native American girl named Pocahontas who falls in love with a settler from Europe, John Smith. In the song Just Around the Riverbend, Pocahontas, played by Olivia Hyman, sings about how she wants to escape the mundane life her father and tribe want for her. Hercules is a story of a god who is forced to live among mortals as a half-man, half-god. In the song "Go the Distance," the main character Hercules, played by Brandon Martin, prays to the gods and asks where it is he belongs. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is set in Paris during the 15th century. The story is about Quasimodo, the deformed bellringer of Notre Dame Cathedral and the song Out There. Quasimodo, played by Dalla Curtis, sings about how he dreams of spending one day down with all the other people. In this next number, these three characters sing these songs side by side, which makes for an animazing performance. Please enjoy the Disney Animazement Trio performed by Olivia Heiner, Brandon Martin, and Dalla Curtis. What I love most about rivers is you can't step in the same river twice. The water is always changing, always flowing. But people, I guess, can't float like that. We all must pay a price. To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing. Once around the river bend, way just around the river bend, I looked once more just around the river bend, the other shore where the golds fly free, can't roll it more. What a dreamy day might stand just around the river bend. Coming for me. I have often dreamed of a far-off place where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me, where the crowds will cheer when they see my face, and a voice keeps saying This is where I'm meant to be. I am on my way. I can go the distance. I'll be there someday. If I can be strong, I know every moment will be worth it. I would go almost anywhere to feel like I— Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives, through the roofs and gables I can see them. Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives, heedless of the gift it is to give by death. Bye-bye, Boston, there's still our treasure every step. Strolling by the sand, taste the morning air, like ordinary men who freely walk about there. Just one day, and then I swear I'll be content with my share. What resentment, what despair, cold and death, I won't care. I'll ask them one day Magic Carpenter, based on the 1972 book written by Mary Rogers. Over the years, it has had many film adaptations in 1976, 1995, and 2000. 2003. The films were huge successes, the most recent one in 2003 starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Though the play never made it to Broadway, it is still a fun and exciting show. The story follows Ellie Blake and her mother Katherine, who have a hard time getting along when they magically switch bodies and start to understand what it's like to be each other in a completely different way. In the song "Oh Biology," due to suddenly changing back into a hormonal teenager, Catherine starts to feel attracted to fellow student Adam. From the whole cast of MBT, we now present All Biology. Dissection, an expert chef with wheels, an expert knife. But still I sense a gremlin in this system of perfection. There clearly are still mysteries to mine. It's cute, a file and a flask, and then it's order, family, penis. It all comes back to me like child's play. Oh, he leans over my shoulder there in all his long and leanness and cuts My heart now is fleeing away. I try to keep a focused mind and steady hands. Who keeps steady? The rhythm of my heart is like a country western band. Oh, biology, what have you done to me? Why can't my grown-up brain control my teenage parts? Oh biology, why won't you let me be? Why can't you be humane and seal our beating hearts before the cutting starts? Whoa, Abby, try it! It's like oil. Wow. He's inert and inarticulate, a specimen of true indeed. And with overgrowth 16, he's much less Oh my lord, what have you done to me? My over 40 soul is in a She's preaching ideology. I want you to set me free. 'Cause I'm not in control when hunger has its hunger. As they say, I'm hormonal. Stay away. Focus, Blake, focus. They take over that alley. She doesn't stop complaining. We're coming there, we have no chance. That girl is on my nerves today. I better set her straight. It's going to make us dead wrong, guys. I never knew that Ellie Blake was such a science whiz. She's smart, of course, so it makes sense. But something's up with her today. I don't know what it is. She's like no fire. She's so intense. What you've done to me, my heart is in a pan, my brain is out to sea. Oh biology, why won't you let me be? Please help me if you can, please hear my painful plea. Biology, biology, biology. Later. Stop. Please set me free. Set me free. Set me free. By Carey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell, and music and lyrics by Carey and Lane Kirkpatrick. The story takes place in 1595 and follows the Bottom brothers Nick and Nigel, who are struggling to become successful in the theatrical world due to competition with the famous, world-renowned William Shakespeare. Nigel, a sweet and naive, perhaps a little awkward writer and poet played by Jimmy Embi, sits down in effort to write a new play. Portia, a quirky and eccentric a little awkward Puritan woman played by Mia Bagley sneaks out to see Nigel, and they discover how much they have in common, especially their love for poetry. We now present I Love the Way from Something Rotten. I love Sidney and Marlowe, and often I borrow from their words to express how I feel. I love poems of mystery, fantasy, history. Oh, what seductive appeal! At night, alone in my bed, satisfying my needs. That candlelight fire ignites my desire to read. Oh, that gets in my groove, which is why I might get all tingly. Because I know that to find the perfect rhyme is not an easy thing to leave. I love the —places that words let me go. I love the way that your words move me so. No words have touched me the way that yours do. They die in love. You are really doing something to me, Mr. Poetry Man. Oh, forgive me, I never get to stuff pillows in this way before. It's okay. I just never knew that poetry could affect someone the way it affects me. Me neither! It's the end-all, the be-all, though you wanna see all the books that I have on my shelf. Me too! I find pleasure perusing those writings and musings so often I pleasure myself. Wait, that didn't make sense. No, I know what you mean. When I'm deep in the throes of impassioned throes, I could scream. You scream so loud! Ah! Ah! Oh! I love a multi-line lyrical alliteration. Who doesn't love alliteration? Oh my god! When the rhymes come together like a consummation. Delay! I love the way that your words feel this time. I love that you feel the same way I do. And I know you know that I love. You know that I Me too.

Climb on a sports car and pull in your newspaper. They couldn't secure us with live spirits. But you know nothing about American sports, Dominique. Their football is very similar to our rugby, only their shots require a lot more timing. Sounds like an eminently sensible race. Let us still hope so. That's why we're going. A head we plow into the darkening night, casting about and how to search with only starlight. Reflection lost, a shadow lost, a glimpse of light meets me all. And he brought the light in his hand, as though it was another one to see on earth. But he did tell I'd be only seeing the truth, as though it was never unborn. No moon, no wind. No moon, no wind.

If someone stood up in a crowd and raised his voice up way out loud and waved his arm and shook his leg, you'd notice him. If someone in the movie show yelled, "Fire in the second row! This whole place is a powder keg!" you'd notice him. And even without fucking like a man, everyone gets noticed now and then. Unless of course that person should be invisible, inconsequential, me. Cell of Fame, Mr. Cell of Fame. Cellophane should have been my name, Mr. Cellophane, 'cause you can look right through me, walk right by me, and never know I'm there, I'll tell ya.

Ah, Heidi, thou art hateful indeed. Knows when you know she'd go with you. If there only were dolls. I believe all the torture they teach, once as intriguing, will have some fatiguing, as once out of reach. Am I not sensitive? Clever? Well-mannered, considerate, passionate, charming, and kind as I've had some that heir to a throne any maid could wish for. Then why not? Why not? The girl must be mad. You know nothing of madness till you're climbing her hair and you see her up there as you're nearing her, all while hearing —her all. Ah! Agony is a reward always different for each. Always 10 steps behind, always 10 feet below, and she's just out of reach. Agony that can cut like a knife. I must have her to mine.
