SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – Home Made Theater invites local performers to audition for its upcoming May production of the Tony Award-winning musical, Fiddler on the Roof. Auditions will be held on Saturday, March 14, starting at 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 15, starting at 1:00 p.m. at Home Made Theater’s headquarters in the Wilton Mall. Fiddler on the Roof will be directed and choreographed by Johnny Martinez, with musical direction by Richard Cherry.
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 mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof‘s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
