“Life is as precarious as the perch of a fiddler on a roof.”  Set in 1905 in the Russian shtetl of Anatevka, Fiddler on the Roof weaves the tale of Tevye, the village milkman, and the trials and tribulations of traditions being tested by the times.  This show boasts time-honored tunes like “Tradition,” “Matchmaker,” and “If I Were a Rich Man” to name a few.  The familiarity of this tale, its moving songs, and the family relationships explored at a time of political upheaval make “Fiddler” one of the best shows of our times.  Bring the whole family!
