Fiddler on the Roof


In celebration of Chanukah, the Senator Theatre is presenting a limited engagement of the classic film, Fiddler on the Roof. During the run, each night a different Jewish community figure lights one more candle of the menorah and delivers a speech.

Set in pre-revolutionary Russia, this film highlights the story of a man struggling to raise his Jewish family in a changing environment while maintaining his traditional views.

Although they have their annual Christmas drive to raise money and collect canned goods for the needy, this is the first time the Senator has recognized and celebrated Chanukah. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and promises to be another yearly tradition.

Fiddler on the Roof is running through Thursday, so be sure to catch it before it’s gone!
