A Very Special Tevye

   One of the great privileges I enjoy is to witness a live stage performance, be it music, dance, or drama. Every performance is a unique expression of talent, even if the production has been done thousands of times. 
   The priceless value is that each show is dynamic. The performers usually want to improve their presentation in every show. Equally important is that each audience can participate by feeding the actors with its energy.   
   I get to participate in a live show without involving my inadequate talent, yet the performers feel it, respond to it. 
   That means I get an original art work every time, unlike films or videos that always are the same. Their good scenes are always good and their gaffs always remain a flubber. I can throw a pillow at the TV set and the video does not change.
   However, in live performances there never can be identical ones, never another one exactly like the one I attended. Live performances never have the same audiences and the energy in the theater is always slightly different. 
   Each show always is "one of a kind."
   Therefore, with great anticipation I went to the Boulder (Colorado) High School presentation of Fiddler on the Roof. Not only was I not disappointed, I was amazed with the precocious talent of several of the actors, especially Noah Kloor who portrayed Tevye.
   Noah was not just "good for his age." He was good - period. For me Tevye now will always look, sound, and act like Noah Kloor of Boulder in 2009. He will succeed wherever he goes to college.
