BWW Blog: Tim Pappalardo of Merrick Theater's FIDDLER ON THE ROOF - It's a Tradition, Right?
by Guest Blogger: Tim Pappalardo - Oct 15, 2013

Since late August, I have been leading the production team of Merrick Theater and Center for the Arts main stage production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF- and it's been full of drama (on the stage that is - yuck yuck). The theater's management (Joe, Tony, Joanne and Ben) are all cool cats, each with their own personalities but all with the same expectation: that my team and I create a wonderful production of Hal Prince's classic . And boy, do I have the team to make it happen!
