'Fiddler On The Roof' This Weekend At EGHS!
There are shows Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 1 and 7 p.m.

They aren't using the old barn out back, but kids and some adults at East Greenwich High School are putting on a show this weekend – Fiddler on the Roof. Come see the more than 75 students who are part of this production.Â
Here's what Wikipedia says about the musical:
Fiddler on the Roof is a musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein, set in Tsarist Russia in 1905. It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Milkman and Other Tales) by Sholem Aleichem. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and Jewish religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each one's choice of husband moves further away from the customs of his faith—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
The show opened Thursday and runs through Saturday, Feb. 2. The remaining show times are Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday and 1 and 7 p.m. The show will be held in the East Greenwich High School Auditorium. Tickets are $10 per person and available at the door, General Admission seating.Â
