Fiddler on the Roof

Join the Palmerton Drama Club for their production of Fiddler on the Roof!


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, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults. Available online or at the door. Tickets will be available on March 14!

Performances are held in the High School Auditorium on April 28th, 29th, and 30th at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. each night.
