Fiddler on the Roof

Beck Center Kicks Off 2009/2010 Season with Classic American Musical 

 

Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts proudly presents its production of
the Tony award-winning classic, Fiddler on the Roof, on the Mackey Main
Stage, September 19 through October 18, 2009. Show times are 8:00 p.m.
Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 p.m. Sundays. A special Thursday evening
performance will take place on October 15 at 8 p.m.

 

One of the most acclaimed musicals on Broadway, Fiddler on the Roof has
touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth, and honesty.
The New York Times comments, "It catches the essence of a moment in
history with sentiment and radiance."

 

Set in 1905, Fiddler on the Roof takes place in Anatevka, a small
village in Russia. The story revolves around a poor Jewish dairyman
named Tevye, who wants to preserve the traditions of his family despite
a changing society. Winner of nine Tony Awards, Fiddler on the Roof's
universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class,
nationality, and religion and leaves audiences crying tears of laughter,
joy, and sadness.

 

Beck Center is pleased to mark the Beck directorial debut of Kalliope
Stage's former artistic director, Paul Gurgol. The production also
features one of Cleveland's most talented actors, George Roth, as Tevye,
the Milkman. 

 

Beck Center is offering special family-friendly pricing so the entire
family can enjoy this musical classic. Tickets are $28 for adults, $25
for seniors (65 and older), $17 for students (22 and under with ID), and
$10 for children (12 and under). An additional $3 service fee per ticket

17, is $10 with general admission seating. Group discounts are available
for parties of 13 or more.

Fiddler on the Roof begins Beck's 2009/2010 professional theater season.
It also includes Peter Pan, Mark Twain's Is He Dead?, The 25th Annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee, and The Producers. Beck's Artistic Director
Scott Spence had this to say about the season, "It fills me with great
hope. Not only is Beck able to continue to offer some amazing local
premieres of recent Broadway successes, but we are able to give our
theater goers many great laughs along the way. And who doesn't need that
in these challenging times?"

arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) and is sponsored by
Cox Communications, Ohio Arts Council, and Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.
