'Fiddler on the Roof' Continues This Week

All the prayer, poverty and poignancy of the small village of Anatevka will be live on stage at the Como Lakeside Pavilion again this coming week. 

Performances of “Fiddler On the Roof” continue running nightly at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, July 19 to 21. The first shows were held last week.

Theater-goers will be treated to a high-energy performance as the all-ages Rosetown cast presents this legendary classic on the stage high above the shores of Lake Como. Following pre-show picnics in the park, audiences will delight in Tevye’s attempts to cope with modern influences that challenge the cultural and family traditions he cherishes. His spirited daughters—seven of ‘em!—test him with their resistance to his ways, while his wife skewers all comers with her sharp tongue.

One of the all-time most popular Broadway shows, “Fiddler” features several classic songs, including: “Matchmaker,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” and of course “Tradition.”

Margot Olsen, one of the founders of Rosetown Playhouse and director of several of the company’s productions over the years, is directing “Fiddler” and is joined by Musical Director Derick Rehurek and Choreographer Kayla Schiltgen.

Tickets and show details are available at www.rosetownplayhouse.org and by phone at 651-792-7414, x2.

Audio assist devices are available nightly and the July 19 show will be presented with sign language interpreters.

The show is presented in partnership with Roseville Parks & Recreation and St. Paul Parks & Recreation.
