Emmy as Golde in Fiddler, Part II

We were proud to report previously about Emily's casting as Golde in Fiddler on the Roof in a Boulder High School production. We're even prouder to tell about her outstanding performance, now that the BHS cast's seven performances are completed. Maureen, the director of the show (in photo with Golde/Emmy and Tevya/Noah Kloor), captured Emmy in this role when she wrote in a note: "You put a lot into crafting the character of Golde. She/you are perfect: gentle, nurturing, tough, and funny. And I love your voice."

This was a perfect capstone to Emmy's high school career (yes, it's still four months to graduation). She had a terrific time doing the show ("It was a blast!" she says). She's been with the same group of theater kids for four years. They are a tight-nit and supportive group. This was Emily's turn to be a star among them. One of her classmates, Anneka Kumli (photo), who served as choreographer for the show and played multiple small roles, was Emily's best friend in pre-school.

Janet made it to all of the shows and Karl to half of them. We basked in the glow of praise from family and friends who attended the show and took vicarious pleasure in Emily's triumph. Mazeltov, Emmy!

Feb. 15 update: There weren't any official photos of the show, and we didn't take any ourselves. So all of the photos here are from post-show parties. Here's a good one, though, of Golde and Tevye, singing "Do you love me?," which showed up on Emmy's Facebook page, courtesy of the show's technical director (and Emmy's good friend) Clay Harding (click to enlarge).
