Pat Gaik

Show Bio

Pat Gaik (Tevye) is very happy to be welcomed back to the Players stage after an absence of 23 years! He was last seen as Father in Children of Eden in 2000. Pat spent his formative theater years on the Players stage in many roles, including Sancho in Man of La Mancha, Will in Oklahoma!, Cornelius in Hello, Dolly!, Doody in Grease, Elwood in Harvey, and Herr Schultz in Cabaret, to name just a few. He is honored to be returning in this iconic role after appearing as Motel in Fiddler on the Roof in 1993.  He spent 20 years as a company member and Marketing Director for Conklin’s Barn II Dinner Theatre in Goodfield, appearing in well over 100 productions. He’s especially happy to be joining his husband Nate on the Players stage for the first time. Many thanks to Bruce, Kathy, Jane, and all the cast and crew, friends old and new.
