What is the show about? In this endearing version of Lewis Carroll’s memorable story, Alice is cautioned by the White Rabbit to take good care of the Queen’s tarts, which are to be served shortly at the croquet match. While Alice’s back is turned, the tarts are stolen. Alice, realizing that the White Rabbit will lose his head if the tarts are not discovered in time, goes in search of the thief. Her quest leads her through a maze of incredible and suspenseful adventures, climaxed by a trial scene in which the thief is discovered. Reimagine your experience of Wonderland in Madge Miller’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland!

What is the show about? This award-winning tale of Tevye the Dairyman and his family’s struggles in a changing Russia is a true musical theatre tradition. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, 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 norms and the growing complications of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical detail, Fiddler on the Roof‘s universal theme of tradition cuts across a variety of barriers, touching audiences with its humor, warmth, and honesty.
