Anatevka, 1905
In a small Jewish village in Tsarist Russia, Tevye the milkman keeps his footing the way his people always have: through faith, family and tradition. It is a balancing act as delicate as a fiddler playing on a rooftop.
This November, the students of Bonners Ferry High School bring that village to life in one of the most beloved musicals ever written, full of humor, heartache and unforgettable songs.
The Story
Tevye has a milk cart, a tired horse, a devoted wife and five daughters. He does not have much money, but he has plenty to say, especially to God, whom he talks to as easily as a neighbor over the fence.
His days are ordered by the customs of his ancestors, and to Tevye those customs are what hold the whole village together.
Custom says a father, with help from the village matchmaker, chooses a husband for each daughter. Tevye's three eldest have other ideas.
Tzeitel has given her heart to Motel, a poor and nervous tailor. Hodel falls for Perchik, a fiery student full of new ideas. Chava loves Fyedka, a young man from outside their faith. Each choice asks Tevye how far he can bend before he breaks.
Between the wedding celebrations and the village gossip, something new is stirring. Young people are choosing for themselves, and the old rules are starting to give way.
It is funny, tender and full of music, the kind of joy that fills a room and spills into the aisles.
After 25 years of marriage, Tevye and Golde are still discovering what they mean to each other.
And when an order from the Tsar threatens the only home they have ever known, the family learns that tradition is not only something you keep. It is something you carry with you.
The Fiddler
High above the village, the fiddler plays on. He is a quiet symbol of a people holding steady through uncertain times, and a reminder that music carries us when the ground beneath us shifts.
