Fiddler on the Roof

June 5-21

The award-winning tale of Tevye the Dairyman and his family’s struggles in a changing Russia is a true musical theatre tradition. Winner of nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler on the Roof is the brainchild of Broadway legends, Jerome Robbins and Harold Prince; songwriters, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick; and bookwriter, Joseph Stein.

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.

Tom Sawyer

July 10-12

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain adapted by F. Scott Regan, is a lively and nostalgic coming-of-age story set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, along the Mississippi River. The play (adapted from Twain’s novel) captures the mischievous spirit and boundless imagination of its young hero, Tom Sawyer, a clever but rebellious boy who constantly finds himself in trouble—and adventure.

The story follows Tom as he navigates boyhood with his best friend, Huckleberry Finn, skipping school, playing pirates, and testing the patience of his guardian, Aunt Polly. Beneath the humor and charm, Tom’s adventures take a darker turn when he and Huck witness a murder committed by the dangerous Injun Joe. Bound by fear and secrecy, the boys struggle with their conscience as the truth threatens to surface.

Interwoven with moments of romance—particularly Tom’s infatuation with Becky Thatcher—and scenes of childhood innocence, the play balances lighthearted antics with suspense and moral growth. From the famous fence-painting episode to the thrilling cave exploration, the narrative highlights Tom’s journey from carefree mischief to a deeper sense of responsibility and courage.

Rich with humor, regional dialect, and vivid imagery, Tom Sawyer celebrates the freedom and imagination of youth while exploring themes of friendship, morality, and the transition from childhood to maturity.
