Davis Musical Theatre Company Brings 'Fiddler on the Roof' to the Stage

The beloved musical 'Fiddler on the Roof' is being brought to life by the Davis Musical Theatre Company (DMTC), and it's anticipated to be a highlight of the season. This classic show will take place at the Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center starting on March 1, with multiple performances scheduled throughout the month.

A Story of Tradition and Change

'Fiddler on the Roof' is a poignant tale set in Anatevka, a village in Tsarist Russia, revolving around Tevya, a dairyman, and his attempts to maintain Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family's life. The narrative is particularly focused on the challenges he faces while trying to find suitable husbands for his five daughters. The musical is renowned for its powerful songs that have resonated with audiences for decades, including hits like 'Sunrise, Sunset', 'If I Were a Rich Man', and 'Matchmaker, Matchmaker'.
