In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, "Fiddler on the Roof" has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

 

The show features a star turn in Tevye (pre-cast for this production), among the most memorable roles in musical theatre. Original director/choreographer Jerome Robbins' staging is legendary, Its celebrated score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, features songs loved the world over: "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were a Rich Man" and "Matchmaker," to name a few. "Fiddler on the Roof" is simply Broadway at its very best. Roles are available for actors age 9 to 90! Auditions will consist of cold reading from the script and a short dance combination to be taught at the audition. If you have dance experience, all the better! Come prepared with 16 measures of a song (not from Fiddler) that showcase your range and ability. A pianist will be provided - bring your music - no CDs or a capella, please.
