Specific events in the intimate world of Anatevka, Russia are presented in a manner that propels universal understanding of the relevant themes of family, forgiveness, acceptance, and tolerance in the highly immersive and interactive staging of the renowned classic Fiddler on the Roof, now at the Signature Theatre.

And her latest, “Mother Russia”, with its World Premiere at the Seattle Rep, falls right in line with those other gems.
