During the month of giving thanks and tradition, it’s time to return to Anatevka and say hello to the boisterous but benevolent Tevye. In this production of the 1964 Tony Award-nominated Broadway sensation Fiddler on the Roof, a poor Jewish father, rooted in the traditions of his faith, grapples with the changing times of czarist Russia as his three eldest daughters begin to fall in love and challenge the rules their small village has held dear. Directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher, this touring production is choreographed by Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter and stars Israeli theater and film actor Yehezkel Lazarov as Tevye.
