Set in the little village of anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor dairyman, 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 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.

Three actors work together to present, to some extent, all 37 plays of William Shakespeare in about two hours' time. The result, a hilarious comedy with a million props and a gazillion laughs. And you don't need to be a Shakespeare aficionado to appreciate this slapstick look at his histories, his comedies, and his tragedies.
Don't look away, you might miss something. Two casts, one of all men, one of all women, will alternate shows, so you'll want to come back and see it again.

"An Obie Award-winning tour of a forbidden zone, The Vagina Monologues introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who 'liked to look at it.'"
The Vagina Monologues is traditionally performed in February in recognition of V-Day. This show is recommended for mature audiences only.
