At the beginning of the twentieth century, Jews and Orthodox Christians live in the little village of Anatevka in the pre-revolutionary Russia of the Czars. In pre-revolutionary Russia, a poor Jewish peasant, Tevye, a milkman, must contend with marrying off his three of his five daughters while antisemitic sentiment threatens his home.
With wonderful songs, such as "Matchmaker, If I Were a Rich Man," and "Sunrise, Sunset," the story of Tevye and his family in Czarist Russia has been a universal favorite among theater audiences since the show won 10 Tony Awards for the orginal production.
Presented by the Gilbert & Sullivan Players, directed by Jamie Bierchen and musical direction by Constantine Grame, Fiddler on the Roof opens July 19 and runs weekends through July 28.
Tickets are $20, $24 and can be ordered online at TarponArts.org, or call 942-5605.
