“Fiddler on the Roof” Comes to Kelsey Theater

TRADITION: R.J. Lewis stars as Tevye the milkman in Theater To Go’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof” June 6-15.

A beloved musical following a family’s celebration of life and all of its challenges, Fiddler on the Roof comes to Kelsey Theater June 6-15 on the West Windsor Campus of Mercer County Community College.

Presented by Theater To Go, this internationally celebrated musical delivers a message of resilience, unity, and hope, making it as relevant today as when it debuted on Broadway in 1964. Set in the Russian village of Anatevka, the show follows Tevye, a humble Jewish milkman, as he struggles to maintain his family’s traditions while navigating a rapidly changing world. As his daughters seek to forge their own paths, Tevye must confront the shifting social and political landscape around him.

“In these times, when our world feels more divided than ever, Fiddler on the Roof serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of tradition, community, and family in an ever-changing world,” said director Ruth Markoe. “But even in difficult times, joy can transcend adversity, as we see in some of the beloved music in Fiddler.”

Dates and showtimes are Friday, June 6 and June 13, and Saturday, June 7, at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8 and June 15 at 2 p.m. at the Kelsey Theatre on MCCC’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Tickets are $26 for adults and $24 for children and students. Visit kelseytheatre.org of call (609) 570-3333.
