Prompt: Tradition

It’s Traditional

“TRADITIOOOOON, TRADITION…”

Giles sank deeper with a groan and pinched the bridge of his nose. On stage, the villagers of Anatevka were doing a wonderful impression of the Keystone Cops.

Dawn elbowed him. “We’re here for Willow.”

“S-she only auditioned for class,” Tara added. “You should have s-seen her face… villager #3.”

“Please understand, my mother took me to see Mr. Topol perfect the role of Tevye in London. Watching it butchered by amateurs is abuse.”

Willow ran up. “How was I?”

“A star.” Giles presented her with roses, and received a smile worthy of hours of torture… and more.

If you can’t name this play, look up Fiddler on the Roof... now.

Awww, Giles you are such a good father figure. :D

Thank you. Yes, he knows what his 'children' need to hear.

LOL Oh, Giles, I know how you feel. I saw Topol revive his role back when I was in high school in the late late 80s.

The things we do for those we love. Poor Tara and Dawn, too. Fun piece!

Thank you. And I'm jealous. Last time I saw Fiddler it was community theater. My little sister was a Russian. She was the only one who could do the dance.

It's traditional to tell the actors they done good.

Love the play. Love the story.

Thank you. Giles can take the torture and knows exactly how to get a smile at the end. He's the best 'daddy'.

Sweet!

Not a film I've seen but I know enough of it to recognise it. (Has Topol done anything else?)
