  • Sam Nisbett

    as Tevye

    36 years ago, Sam and Pam, his high-school sweetheart, stood under the traditional chuppah before the Rabbi, and when he finally smashed the glass after 3 tries, her jewish family formally entered his life. It has been a dream ever since to play Tevye to honor this wonderful family. Fiddler marks his eleventh production at the California Theater, having played such notable roles as Colonel Jessup in A Few Good Men, Otto Frank in The Diary Of Anne Frank, the title character in Tuesdays With Morrie,both Slim and Carlson in separate productions of Mice and Men, the senator in The California The Over the past 20 years, Sam has performed in over 100 stage productions, and has appeared in a national commercial, several independent films, and a number of voice over projects. He lives a double life as a father, a grandfather, and a logistics analysis manager by day, only wielding his voice and acting skills for the forces of good on evenings and weekends. L'chaim, Mazeltov, and enjoy the show!
