“Fiddler on the Roof” is one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Now, learn about what didn’t make the cut in “Tevye Served Raw: Garnished with Jews,” the second show in Centenary Stage Company’s Fringe Festival.
Running Oct. 22-25, the show includes stories and sketches by Sholem Aleichem, a prolific – and funny – Jewish writer, recognized as the best of his time. The show provides a real picture of Jewish life in Eastern Europe through Aleichem’s stories about “Tevye the Dairyman,” which inspired the hit 1964 Broadway show. “Fiddler on the Roof” was the first commercially successful English-language stage production about Jewish Life in Eastern Europe.
Fans of “Fiddler” will love finding out what happens to its characters after the play ends, but anyone interested in history and storytelling will enjoy this look behind the scenes.
“Tevye Served Raw” is performed in English and Yiddish-with-English-supertitles. The cast includes both Yiddish speakers from the acting field and Hackettstown favorites.
The show will be held in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center on Centenary University’s campus, 715 Grand Avenue in Hackettstown. Shows are 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22, 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Adult tickets start at $22.50 with discounts available for seniors, students, and children.
