To be performed Fridays & at 7:30pm, Saturdays at 2:30pm and 7:30pm, and Sundays at 2:30pm, October 30 through November 22, 2026.

Fiddler on the Roof is set in the Pale of Settlement of Imperial Russia in or around 1905. It is based on “Tevye the Dairyman” and other short stories by Sholem Aleichem. The story centers on Tevye, a milkman in the fictional village of Anatevka, who attempts to maintain his Jewish traditions as outside influences encroach upon his family’s lives. He must cope with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters who wish to marry for love; their choices of husbands are successively less palatable for Tevye. An edict by the Tsar eventually evicts the Jews from their village. Fiddler on the Roof explores the tension between tradition and change, and features many memorable songs and characters, with tremendous opportunities for ensemble actors. The original Broadway production of the show won nine Tony Awards, including best musical, score, book, direction, and choreography.
