GHS Drama Club Presents ''Fiddler on the Roof''

Set in the small Russian village of Anatevka on the eve of the Russian Revolution, “Fiddler on the Roof” tells the bittersweet story of the dairyman Tevye and his family. Tevye is trying to maintain the simplicities of traditional life while his five daughters are growing up all too quickly and outside events threaten the precarious balancing act that is their lives. Its universal themes of tradition and family, love and acceptance cut across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Known for its infectious score of songs, including “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Matchmaker,” "Miracle of Miracles," and "Sunrise, Sunset,"

"Fiddler on the Roof" is one of Broadway’s longest-running shows, and one of the most acclaimed and performed musicals world-wide. It is based on Sholom Alechiem’s stories, with a book by Joseph Stein, and an unforgettable score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick.

The play’s title stems from a painting by Marc Chagall, one of many surreal paintings he created of eastern European Jewish life. The fiddler is a metaphor of survivaal, through tradition and joyfulness.
