PRESS RELEASE
The Heritage Community Theatre proudly announces the timeless family classic, “Flddler On
The Roof.” It will be performed June 3 through 25. “Fiddler” is one of the longest running
productions on Broadway because of its humanistic themes, its warm and humerous script, and
its memorable musical score.
Tevye, a poor milkman and humble Jewish father, finds his devotion to God tested by his
headstrong daughters, who want to be their own matchmakers, while the growing anti-semitism
of Czarist Russia threatens the world he knows so well. “Fiddler OnThe Roof” celebrates family,
community, and life’s unexpected miracles.
Director Marilyn Whipple, of Centerville, who is making her Heritage Theatre debut as director
states, “I jumped at the chance to direct “Fiddler.” It is one of the “perfectly written shows.” It is
full of universal themes, a romantic storyline, the complexity of family and community
relationships, and political persecution and turmoil. Its most amazing thread, though, is that it
forces the audience to look at human differences. Add to that a strong story, an unforgettable
musical score, and it becomes an experience that can change your life.”
Director Whipple adds, “This show, for as long as it has been around, brings out talented
performers. We have an unusually talented cast, many of whom are local, and many who travel
to have the opportunity to be a part of this show again. Theatre goers will recognize the name,
Layne Willden, giving a fine repeat performance as Tevye, Marcia Holmes, playing Golde, and
Allisha Larsen, who plays Yente. Many favorite local performers help fill out the cast. She
adds, “This show carries with it a magical quality, enhanced by a super talented cast. It is one
you will not want to miss.”
Fiddler on the Roofwill open June 3 and play Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays through June 25
at 7:30 p.m., with matinees on June 11 and 18 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for
seniors and children 12 and under. The Heritage Theater is located at 2505 South Hwy 89 in
Perry. Tickets may be obtained online at www.heritagetheatreutah.com, by phone at 435-723-
8392, or at the box office Mondays and Wednesdays through Saturdays between the hours of
11:00 and 2:00 p.m. The box office also opens on show nights at 7:00 p.m.
