Riverside Productions is thrilled to announce auditions for our upcoming production of the timeless classic, Fiddler on the Roof! Step into the vibrant world of Tevye, his family, and the close-knit community of Anatevka as we bring this heartwarming and powerful story to the stage.
Set in the Pale of Settlement in Imperial Russia in 1905, Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman, and his five daughters. As outside influences begin to encroach upon their traditional ways, Tevye must navigate the changing world while trying to maintain his faith and family bonds. The show beautifully blends humor, poignant moments, and unforgettable music, exploring themes of love, loss, tradition, and the resilience of the human spirit. With iconic songs like "Tradition," "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were a Rich Man," and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," Fiddler on the Roof is a theatrical masterpiece that resonates with audiences of all ages.
