Hillbarn Theatre Welcomes the Holidays with Musical Classic FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

Hillbarn Theatre, the Peninsula's premier theatre company, welcomes the holiday season with the Tony Award-winning musical classic, Fiddler on the Roof. In the Little Village of Anatevka, we meet Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his five daughters. With the help of a tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill in them traditional values 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's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
