What is Fiddler on the Roof?

The story of love, devotion and defiance in a poor Jewish family in
Czarist Russia, Fiddler on the Roof has won nine Tony Awards, including
best musical, best composer and best choreography. 

Performed thousands of times worldwide since 1964, Fiddler on the 
Roof contains very well-known songs such as "Matchmaker, Matchmaker,"
"If I Were a Rich Man," and "Sunrise, Sunset." 

The story centers around Tevye, an impoverished Jewish milkman, and 
his five unmarried daughters in the village of Anatevka, Russia. It 
traces his daughters' coming of age as the oldest daughters fall in 
love and break with traditional ideas of courtship. 

Tevye's devotion to tradition is shattered by a changing world and 
the persecution he faces as a Jew.  Fiddler is a classic story of the 
struggle between tradition and the power of love.

You can see this story retold at DramaTech Theatre May 14, 15, 19-22.
On May 28, 29 the performance will move to the Robert Ferst Center for 
the Arts.  All shows begin at 8pm.
