Fiddler on the Roof Cast

Kaisara Arambula (Mordcha the Innkeeper)
Hiii, I am a junior, GO CLASS OF 2025!! And I’ve loved working with everyone; rehearsals have been very enjoyable and full of positive vibes. Thanks to that, every day is pleasant even when it gets VERY cold. This is my first production as part of the WCA DAM Players, and it has been an incredible experience! I am glad to be part of this Fiddler production. We have learned so many things in order to make this production possible. And thank you to our AMAZING teacher, costuming, and tech theater! Enjoy the show!
Alyssa Arechiga (Nachum)
I am a freshman (class of ‘27!) in my first year of theater. I play Nachum the beggar, and I am so happy to take part in this show! Thank you to my family for supporting me through this production, and thank you to my friends for making this play so fun!
Jayda Bass (Chava)
Getting to put my passion for acting and music on stage is always a blessing. I’m so glad that my family and friends have supported me and my passions throughout my years, and I’m sure they will continue to do so! I’m in the class of 2027 as a freshman, and I’m so glad to get to portray Chava! It was an honor to work on this show. The cast, costuming, and directors/managers all worked very hard. They have put an emotion into Fiddler on the Roof that I cannot even begin to describe. Theatre has given me a new view of how certain people perceive the world, and it’s always eye-opening to see through another person’s perspective. I hope you too can find this show’s perspective exhilarating!
Abigail Brady (Tzeitel)
As a Junior at WCA, I've actively engaged in numerous productions, showing my commitment both behind the scenes and on stage. For this show, I was able to do costuming as well as act. A highlight of my theater journey was the opportunity to perform at the Fringe Festival in Scotland with some of my troupe members. As well as performing at Shakespeare DTASC in which we did a scene from Midsummer's Night Dream, using the unique physical acting style known as RashDash, which led my group to receiving first place in my category. I am thankful to my parents for always supporting me in all my wild extracurriculars.
Ashlynn Bunnell (Mendel/Grandma Tzeitel)
I’m playing Mendel and Grandma Tzeitel. I'm a sophomore and graduating in 2026, and I’m super excited to play my roles! I plan on going into cosmetology in the future but I definitely want to take part in a few more acting classes. I want to say thank you to costuming for making our amazing outfits and Mr. Brady for helping everyone in rehearsals to do their best!

Peyton Her (The Constable)
Hello! I’m a Freshman taking CTE Beginning Drama. I started theatre in 5th grade when I joined an Acting School called “Emerging Artist”. I started doing theatre because of my crazy personality. My biggest accomplishment in theatre was making Honorable Mention in JV DTASC 2023. Outside of theatre, you might see me in many clubs, if you can, say hi to me at one of the 13 clubs I attend. I dedicate my theater performance to my family and friends. My family has been there for me when I needed them most, my mom, dad, brother, dog, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and many cousins.
Taylor Her (Yussef)
Being in the class of 2027 I am glad to be in this play and I am so excited to be in my second show ever! This is a wonderful show filled to the brim with catchy songs and loveable characters! I hope you love this show as much as I do and thank you to my friends and family who supported me along the way!

I’m a junior here at WCA, and I’m a Thespian Board Officer. Fiddler has been an awesome opportunity to perform with new people and I think it’s really brought me closer to the troupe! Hope you enjoy the show :)
Hannah Jindra (Tevye)
I am a senior who's been in theatre all four years of high school and has the privilege of being Thespian president this year. I have been a DTASC Honorable Mention, two time DTASC Finalist, and a First Place winner for a group scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. My favorite experiences from theatre have been our troupe’s performance of Marvin’s Room and Twelfth Night, and going to the 2023 Fringe Festival for our show Gulls. I can’t believe this is my last WCA show, it has been such a blast to work on. I am so grateful for my supportive family and to be a part of this amazing troupe.
Declan Kallberg (Rabbi)
I am a member of the Class of 2025 here at Western Center Academy who is still getting used to writing his bios from a first-person perspective. I have previously participated in the Dramatic Arts Mammoth Players' productions of Honk! and Norse Mythology Ragnasplosion. I would like to thank my fellow thespians, our tireless crew, and our amazing director for allowing me to help tell a story as important as Fiddler.
McKenzie Lacey (Bielke)
I am one of the many Freshies in this cast of Fiddler On The Roof and I am honored to be in it! Little background is that I’ve been acting since the second grade; crazy, right?; I started off being quite the characteristic little Elf in Shrek(COTYMT) and this year I’ve done Seussical(WCA) as Cat in the Hat/Wickersham, Grease(OTTYCT) as Ensemble, The Little Mermaid(FAN) as Ensemble/Princess, The Hobbit(WCA) as Ensemble/Bard, and Chicago(OTTYCT) as Ensemble.
Lucas Land (Russian/Ensemble)
I’m currently going through my first year of theater, been a blast so far and I recommend it to anyone who has their doubts on joining, its super fun. Graduating in 2026, and I just got a feeling that this show’s gonna be great (please don’t jinx this I will cry). I don’t have any plans YET for after high school, but I will soon, probably. Thank you to my family who’s somewhere in the audience, you guys are cool, thanks to my friends who are (hopefully) in the audience, thanks for taking the time to be here, and thanks Mr Brady for letting me be in the show.
Morgan Munnell  (Yente)
I am a junior in high school, GO CLASS OF 2025! I have loved working on Fiddler on the Roof along with my friends, giving me an opportunity to grow better as an actress and as a person. I have loved playing Yente, as she is such a fun character to play! Besides, Who doesn’t love the matchmaker? I hope everyone enjoys this show, especially my mom, dad, and brother, who have supported me throughout my theater journey, and I would like to thank Mr. Brady, Mrs. Green, Mr. Wolny, and their students for all the effort they put into these shows. Enjoy!
Sadee Packham (Hodel)
I’m a junior and I’ve absolutely loved getting to work on this production! Hodel is such a fun and interesting character to play. I get to sing some fun songs and I get to work with some of my favorite people. This year, I also had the opportunity to work with our amazing costuming crew, and I had so much fun learning new things about sewing! I even had the opportunity to design and create my own costume. This is probably my favorite show I’ve worked on at WCA so far. Some of the other amazing plays I’ve been able to perform here are The Hobbit, Marvin’s Room, and Twelfth Night. I’ve also won multiple awards for DTASC scenes. A huge thank you to my wonderful mom, who is so amazing and supportive, as well as the rest of my family.
Melanie Wainaina (Russian)
I have always had a passion for theater and the processes that go behind the stage. Some of my favorite musicals/concept albums are EPIC the musical, Hadestown, Six, and many more! Being a freshman in theater means I still have 3 years left of performances and DTSAC, and I can’t wait! I have been performing since Kindergarten and my biggest dream would be to be a professional actor! My current plan for after high school is to go to Stanford University and become a lawyer. (Although writing has always been my side passion) Fiddler combines comedy, tragedy, and heartfelt moments all while being performed in a musical format. I hope this play entertains you as much as I had fun performing it, enjoy!
Emma Wright (Avram)
I am part of the class of 2026, and I am in the 10th grade! I love getting to work on such a classical musical and I have so much fun rehearsing for this show! I play Avram and The Priest in Fiddler and have so much fun doing it! I got inducted into the Thespian Society my Freshman year, so the end of last year! I was a JV DTASC finalist for both Shakespeare and Fall DTASC my freshman year and was a semi-finalist at Fall Varsity DTASC this year. I also got the honor of receiving the Beginning Theatre Award last year from Mr. Brady. I also received my academic letter for maintaining a 4.0 GPA my freshman year and got my 4.0 patch. All of my accomplishments could not have been achieved if it wasn't for my wonderful family and the love and support they have for me, so thank you Mom, Dad, Cassidy, and Savannah. Also, a special shoutout to my mom who always puts her family first, always making a separate trip to come pick me up from any rehearsals or shows so that I can have the involvement in theatre that I am fortunate enough to have. Without my selfless mom, I would not be able to do all the things I love so much. Thank you Mom, you have no idea how much it truly means to me all you do for me!
