PCS Theater to Present FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Next Month

PCS Theater has announced its production of the beloved musical Fiddler on the Roof, running from September 8th to 30th on The Players Club of Swarthmore  Main Stage. This timeless classic, with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Joseph Stein, continues to captivate audiences with its poignant story of tradition, love, and resilience.

Under the masterful direction of Theodora K. Psitos and featuring enchanting choreography by Emily Engel, Fiddler on the Roof promises to transport theatergoers to the vibrant world of Anatevka, where a humble milkman named Tevye wrestles with the challenges of maintaining his family's traditions amidst a changing world. The production's orchestral and music direction, led by Ryan Leroy Walden, ensures that Jerry Bock's unforgettable melodies will resonate deeply with audiences. 

Leading the cast is the talented Rick Serpico in the iconic role of Tevye, a character immortalized by Topol. Sharing the spotlight is Donna Dougherty as Golde, Tevye's steadfast wife. Together, they bring to life the heartwarming dynamics of their enduring relationship.

Tevye's daughters, portrayed by Liat Kovnator (Tzeitel), Molly Van Trees (Hodel), Micaela Hickey (Chava), Natalie Rubin (Shprintze), and Claire Hutton (Bielke), beautifully depict the struggles of love and independence in a changing world. The production boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Trevor Sheehan as Motel, Drew Weiss as Perchik, Andrew Staub as Fyedka, Ken Locicero as Lazar Wolf, and Terry D'Andrea as the matchmaker Yente.

Audiences can look forward to a stellar ensemble featuring the talents of John Casertano, Paul Mansfield, Andrew Rubin, Paul Kerrigan, Judy Thalheimer, Gavin Wycuff, Frank Wilson, Tyler Meil, Julie Zaffarano, Ann Bacharach, Meg Averill, Cyrus Knower, Becca Begnaud, Ellen Taylor, Vic Dormer, Dina Bogino, Sarit Tubul, Jensen Davis, Ralph Reinwald, Maria Ceferatti, Keith Beecham, Darwin Murley, Troy Gartner, Taron Goldsboro, Bethany Bryant, Caitlin Naylor, Nina Kilgore, and Jason Stump, who contribute to the richness of the production.

Kristin Hegel and Amy Goldman will bring the characters of Fruma-Sarah and Grandma Tzeitel to life, adding another layer of depth to the production's ensemble.

Fiddler on the Roof is the opening act of PCS Theater's 112th season, promising a delightful blend of happiness and tears. With its talented cast, evocative music, and compelling storytelling, this production promises to be a highlight of the theatrical calendar.
