To Life!
A Co-Production of the Education Department and Winni Players Community Theatre | Performances November 8 - 12 One of the most popular musicals of the 20th century, Fiddler on the Roof is the Tony Award-winning sensation that introduced the world to favorite songs like “Tradition!”, “Sunrise, Sunset,” and “If I Were a Rich Man.” Milkman Tevye’s world is turned upside down by both the changing political landscape in his home country, and the changing ideals of a younger generation.
