Theatre Department stages
Fiddler On The Roof

When Fiddler On the Roof first opened in Japan, the Japanese producer turned
to playwright Joseph Stein and asked: "Tell me, do they understand this show in
America? It’s so Japanese."

The universal theme of a common man’s struggles -- and some of the finest
songs ever written for a musical -- are what make Fiddler such a timeless hit,
says Dorothy Jones, who is directing the Douglas College Theatre Department’s
production of Fiddler On The Roof.

"It’s got beautiful music, and a story that is still very timely. It’s even more of
a political play today than when it was written in the 1960s, because of what is
going on in so many places in the world," says Jones. "That’s one reason my
students are so enthusiastic about this production."

Fiddler is set in the early 1900s and follows the life of Tevye, a Russian-
Jewish dairyman, who faces family conflicts (a daughter who wants to marry

Students focus of
new Institutional

Self-Study

(Douglas College is a big place, and
getting bigger, so it’s vital that we stay
in touch with people’s needs.

The 1991 Institutional Self-Study
will provide the College with a self-
appraisal on student issues, and keep
us on course for the future, says Jean
Cockburn, Steering Committee chair.
"We are the mechanism that takes a
good broad look at what the institution
is doing. It’s up to us to look at the
processes and see if they’re meeting
the needs of the student population,"
says Cockburn.

Institutional Self-Study is coor-
dinated by the B.C. Council of
College and Institute Principals, and is
seen.as the self-governing mechanism
of the B.C. college system. Colleges
are asked to conduct a self-study
every five years as part of ongoing
planning.
