FIDDLER ON THE ROOF to be Presented by Dublin Coffman High School Drama Club This Month

Dublin Coffman High School (DCHS) Drama Club will present Fiddler on the Roof, the iconic musical that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. 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. Fiddler on the Roof will introduce a new generation to this uplifting celebration that raises its cup - To Joy! To love! To life!
