SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMEHTS

The ca$t and crew of Fiddler.on the Roof wish to acknowledge Robert Dean and the special contribution he made to this .

" prqduction. Until a m0nth ago, he wa$ our 'Tevye' but illness forced him to withdraw. His dedication throughout the rehearsal process gave the entire cast incentive to raise their own performance levels. Our best wishes to Robert for a speedy ,recovery.

A heartfelt thank you to the Elks Club of Calgary. Their g~nerous donati(j)n made it possible to hire professional interpreters for the June 26th performance, making it accessible to' members of our Deaf Community. A special thank you to Debra Russell and Todd Dean for their services.

Ron Hooker stepped in as our 'Tevye' ,after Robert Dean's departure, unfortunately, a tragedy ferced his withdrawal from the sh~w . . Our heartfelt sympathies to Ron ~d his family.
