Fiddler on the Roof a tradition at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre

Heartwarming musical opens Oct. 10

In a true celebration of tradition, Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s 2024 Season concludes with Fiddler on the Roof, opening Oct. 10. This heartwarming, nine-time Tony Award-winning musical marks its 60th Anniversary this year.

Douglas E. Stark reprises his favorite role of Tevye, the poor milkman, who is the center of this touching story set in the tiny village of Anatevka. Tevye does his best to protect his five daughters and instill them with traditional values, even in the face of changing times and social principles.

Iconic songs include “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Miracle of Miracles,” and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker.”

Fiddler on the Roof has been a tradition at Beef & Boards, where it ties with The Sound of Music for the most productions in the theatre’s 51-year history, with the exception of the theatre’s holiday production, A Beef & Boards Christmas. For owner Doug Stark, the ability to play Tevye has been particularly special.

“Because it represents family,” he remarked. “And it’s the perfect mixture of a very touching story, but it still has a universal appeal.”

This will be the ninth production of Fiddler on the Roof at Beef & Boards. Stark has played Tevye in each production since becoming an owner in 1980, and this is his eighth production at Beef & Boards.

Returing to the Beef & Boards stage are Judi Mann as Golde, Mark Goetzinger as Lazar Wolf, Jennifer Preston as Tzeitel, Sadie Cohen as Chava, Christine Zavakos as Fruma-Sarah, Hannah Boswell as Mother/Grandma Tzeitel, Joey Boos as Motel, Justin Tepper as Perchik, Alex Smith as Mendel and the Fiddler, Scot Greenwell as the Rabbi, Bill Book as Mordcha, and Jeff Stockberger as the Constable. Making their Beef & Boards debuts are Adrienne Reiswerg as Yente, Isabella Agresta as Hodel, Kimberly Abrams as Mother, and Jacob Murphey as Sasha.
