PROULX TOPS AS "TEVYE" AT ACT: Dennis Proulx, left, celebrated backstage with Shari Lynn (Golde), musical director Lina Jeong Doo and Jim Stark (Lazar Wolf) on Nov. 15 at the opening-night cast party for Army Community Theatre's production of "Fiddler on the Roof." Proulx is excellent as Tevye and dominates the action with his singing, acting and dancing. Lynn's addition of a real Jewish prayer to the "Sabbath Prayer" scene gives it an unusually strong sense of tradition and family unity, and Doo's musicians make important contributions. "Fiddler" closes this weekend. Call 438-4480.
