SHAKER HEIGHTS, OHIO – Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute begins its 2016
summer season of hits with one of the greatest musicals of all time, the
acclaimed *FIDDLER ON THE ROOF**, presented at Hathaway Brown School in
Shaker Heights, Ohio, from July 1 to 10.*

Winner of nine TONY Awards when it debuted in 1964, *FIDDLER ON THE ROOF* is
the brainchild of Broadway legends Jerome Robbins, Harold Prince,
songwriters Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, and book writer Joseph Stein.
Touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this
universal show is a staple of the musical theatre canon.

Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor
dairyman, 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 adapting to
change cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion,
leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

 Performances are Fridays and Saturdays, July 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 at 7:30 pm; and
Sundays, July 3 and 10 at 2:00 PM.

The show is presented at the Hathaway Brown School, 19600 North Park Blvd.,
Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122.  Tickets are $11-15 and can be purchased online
at www.hb.edu/tickets, by calling 216-932-4214 x7270 or at the door (if

Directed and choreographed by Bebe Weinberg Katz, FIDDLER will also feature
musical direction by John Krol, stage combat by Ryan Zarecki, set design by
Ron Newell, costumes by Jacqueline Guerra, sound design by Carlton Guc and
lighting design by Kaedra Lynn.
