The award-winning classic, Fiddler on the Roof, returns to the Cabot Stage in an unforgettable way. This masterpiece tells the story of Tevye, a humble milkman, and his struggle to maintain his Jewish traditions amidst a changing world. 

This important tale is amplified in Skylight’s production through a powerful partnership with Violins of Hope – a collection of stringed instruments that Jewish musicians and others targeted by the Nazis owned and played before and during the Holocaust. 

The collection is being presented in Wisconsin by the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO). Skylight is honored to have been granted permission to feature two of the instruments from this collection in our production.

We will also partner for the first time with performers and technicians from Marquette University, onstage and backstage.

This production explores the universal themes of cultural identity, tradition, and the cost of societal displacement in a nostalgic and moving look at a world in transition at the dawn of the 20th Century.

Recommended for ages 6 and up.
