"For more than 100 performances in the Mulberry Street series of plays, I have played the patriarch of an Italian immigrant family with children questioning their heritage and traditions. I have often referred to that character as an Italian Tevye, so I am thrilled to play this role for the first time," Ursone said in a statement.
Area residents may have seen Ursone on the Kweskin stage in "1776" as John Adams or "La Cage Aux Folles" as Albin/Zaza. His other recent area performances have been leading roles with Summer Theatre of New Canaan and The Carriage House Theatre in Norwalk.
