A Story About A Pasta And A Jewish

---------------------------------------------------------
In 1983, I was traveling with a tiny theater company doing
vaudeville-type shows in 
community centers and
bars—anywhere we could earn $25 each plus enough gas money to
get to the next small town in our ramshackle yellow bus.
As we passed through Bozeman, Montana, in early February, a
heavy snow slowed us down. The radio crackled warnings about
black ice and poor visibility, so we opted to impose on friends
who were doing a production of Fiddler on the Roof at Montana
State University. See a show, hit a few bars, sleep on a sofa:
This is as close to prudence as it gets when you’re an itinerant
20-something troubadour.
After the show, well-wishers and stagehands milled behind the
curtain. I hugged my coat around me, humming that “If I Were a
Rich Man” riff from the show, aching for sunrise and sunset,
missing my sisters. What a wonderful show that was—and is.
A heavy metal door swung open, allowing in a blast of frigid
air, and clanged shut behind two men who stomped snow from their
boots. One was big and bearlike in an Irish wool sweater and
gaiters; the other was as tall and skinny as a chimney sweep in
a peacoat.
“… but I’m just saying, it would be nice to see some serious
theater,” one of them said. “Chekhov, Ibsen, anything but this
musical comedy shtick.”
“Excuse me?” I huffed, hackles raised. “Anyone who doesn’t think
comedy is an art form certainly hasn’t read much Shakespeare,
have they?”
I informed them that I was a “professional shticktress” and went
on to deliver a tart, pedantic lecture on the French
neoclassics, the cultural impact of Punch and Judy as an I Love
Lucy prototype, and the importance of Fiddler on the Roof as
both artistic and oral history. The shrill diatribe left a puff
of frozen breath in the air. I felt my snootiness showing like a
stray bra strap as the sweep in the peacoat rolled his eyes and
walked away.
The bear stood there for a moment, an easy smile in his brown
eyes. Then he put his arms around me and whispered in my ear, “I
love you.”
