Based on Sholom Aleichem's beloved characters, immortalized in Fiddler in the Roof, Tevye In New York! follows Tevye the dairyman as he and his daughters make their way through Ellis Island, and into the gritty melting pot of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Hear how family ties are strained over women's rights, and the terrible Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Enjoy Tevye's humorous take on high tech advances like automobiles, electricity, and the telephone! In the hands of master storyteller Tom Dugan, Tevye In New York! is a magical tale filled with laughter, heartbreak, and joy, as Tevye tries to balance tradition with what it means to be an American Jew.
