Many students tried out for "Fiddler on the Roof Jr.", so many in fact, that practically all of the sheets for tryouts were filled and overflowing! Many students hoped to get a main role. Wood Hill students could be heard singing in the halls and practicing their lines for the upcoming play.
Many students reported being nervous, but they all have high hopes for their parts. Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Rey directed the students. They played the piano while the people stood on stage and sang and acted their very best.
Seventh grader Griffin Vieira said he was nervous, “But I went up there and Mrs. Rey and Mrs. Murray made me feel a lot better. I was still nervous a little bit, but at least I wasn’t as nervous as when I came in.”
Viera and other students were hopeful they landed their part. “Yeah, I think I have a fair chance of getting it,” said Viera, who landed the role of Perchik.
“I was pretty scared because I never did this before and there was no one but the teachers in there,” said eighth grader Audrey Bartlett, who was hoping to land her dream role. Many seventh and eighth graders tried out for the play. Bartlett said the teachers were very helpful, "they were nice, and they didn’t make you feel nervous.” Bartlett joins the Tuesday Chorus.
“I was a little nervous, to be honest,” said Michael Makiej, a seventh grader, who will play Mordcha on stage. “The teachers seemed to help out a lot and they relieved my stress, and they said it was okay. They were overall helpful.”
Student Valerie MacDonald reported getting nervous before her audition and wasn't sure about what role she'd play. “I didn’t have a specific part (in mind), and I don’t think I got a good one,” she said. MacDonald joins the Thursday Chorus.
Was stage fright an issue? Not for Farrah Sousa, who joins the Tuesday Chorus on stage.
“First, I sang, and the teachers said I was the first to do some choreography, and they could tell I have been in plays before,” she said. “My voice was very shaky, but they made me feel very comfortable.”
She added, “It was a lot of fun. I can’t wait to find out what I’ll get!"
Ameera Mazraany was feeling slightly nervous after her audition and wasn't sure she landed her dream role, saying, “I was really shaky and I wasn’t sure what they were going to think of me.” Mazraany will sing with the Thursday Chorus.

Wood Hill students were enthusiastic about putting on "Fiddler on the Roof Jr." The Gazette would like to wish good luck to all of the students and teachers in this year’s school play, and to all of the stage and tech crew.
