“Who would it hurt if I were a rich man?” asks Tevye, beloved father in Fiddler on the Roof, just before he breaks into song. Which leads us at the Fourth Wall to ask, who would it hurt if we party on a Thursday?
 
To celebrate another great season of breakthrough theatre and Gen Y arts and culture lovers, the Fourth Wall and MACC XY Events will raise the roof—oh, yes—next Thursday, May 20 with an end-of-season show and celebration.
 
We’ll mingle at the Galleria Bar before we see the national Broadway tour of Fiddler on the Roof at the Ellie. Then it’s off to Tamayo for a roof top party, sponsored by MACC XY Events, where we’ll mix and mingle with members of the cast, enjoy some free food and drink (two of our favorite things), and dance it out to live music from Klezmer V’od.

It’s been an exciting season for friends and members of the Fourth Wall. If you don’t know what I mean, allow me to clarify: we got wrapped up in a Ponzi scheme (Voysey Inheritance) and chased the American dream with our bellies full of soul food (A Raisin in the Sun). We had an absurd and ugly holiday season (Absurd Person Singular), then reacquainted ourselves with the Eastern plains of Colorado (Eventide). Tang reappeared in our lives—and in our martini glasses— (When Tang Met Laika) and the green eyed monster got the best of us (Othello). We even ate beef jerky for the first time in we don’t know how long (Mama Hated Diesels). Plus, we crashed the NTC prom, took backstage tours of the Arts Complex, attended readings at the Colorado New Play Summit and frequented other shows like Well and Mariela in the Desert.
 
So before the sun sets on the Fourth Wall’s second season, we hope to see you one more time to celebrate 2009/10 and look ahead to next season. Brush up on your Yiddish.  We’ll see you on the roof.
