August 18: Fiddler on the Roof
What is it about Broadway that excites our minds and touches our hearts? The music? The dancing? Of course! But sometimes a story is so powerful we can see ourselves in the characters. We share their joy. We understand their pain. In the end, we are inspired. You will be too – through guest performers and meaningful messages as we experience some of the most memorable musicals ever written.
The Downtown Campus (222 NW 15th Street) services are at 8:15, 9:30 and 10:50 a.m. and Edmond Campus (900 N. Sooner Road) services are at 9 and 11 a.m. each Sunday. If you are not able to attend in person you can watch live online or the Television broadcast on Sunday Mornings at 10:30 a.m. on KOCO Channel 5 (week delayed).

Synopsis: When Tevye’s eldest daughter, Tzeitel, begs him to let her marry a poor tailor rather than the middle-aged butcher that he has already chosen for her, Tevye must choose between his own daughter’s happiness and those beloved traditions that keep the outside world at bay. Meanwhile, there are other forces at work in Anatevka, dangerous forces which threaten to destroy the very life he is trying to preserve.
