Based on the book by Joseph Stein with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and music by Jerry Bock, “Fiddler on the Roof” is a story set in the village of Anatevka, Russia, in 1905.
The village is not only rooted in tradition, but is being divided between Russian Catholics and Russian Jews. Tevye and his wife Golde are faced with challenges when three of their five daughters decide that love, and not Yente the matchmaker, will determine their husbands and as a result, their fates.
The show is being directed by Jennifer Bronder, with Michael Sypien as vocal director, Ricardo Hayden Jr. as pit orchestra director, Gwen Pysh as choreographer and Shawn Wirginis as technical director.
Student directors are Evan Flannery and Nathan Gray.
