Fiddler on the Roof at OCC

Fiddler on the Roof is a true musical theatre tradition. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with 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. (MITshows.com)

While this story is set in 1905, the village of Anatevka serves as a mirror to our society today. With losses and pain, joys and triumphs, Fiddler on the Roof is a universal story for everyone.
