WATERTOWN, MA — New Repertory Theatre presents Fiddler on the Roof, December 2, 2016- January 1, 2017 in the Charles Mosesian Theater at the Arsenal Center for the Arts (321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA).
Amelia Broome, of Wilmington, will portray Golde in the production. Ms. Broome earned her MFA at Boston University and is a faculty member at Emerson College. Broome’s other credits include A Little Night Music and Steel Magnolias (NextDoor Theatre); Two Wives in India (Boston Playwrights’ Theatre); Casting Amanda (Emerson College); Next Fall, Adding Machine: A Musical (BroadwayWorld Award), Jerry Springer the Opera, and The Light in the Piazza (IRNE Award, SpeakEasy Stage Company); Sweeney Todd, Rich Girl, and Kiss Me Kate (Lyric Stage Company); Tea at Five (Worcester Foothills Theatre); and Spring Awakening and My Old Lady (Gloucester Stage Company). Film credits include Edge of Darkness.
“Fiddler on the Roof has a much deserved place in the history of musical theatre,” says Artistic Director Jim Petosa. “It was first produced at a time when ideas of tradition and cultural identity were in an upheaval. It became a response to the transition that was happening in American culture and continues to resonate today as it examines the traditions of life, communities, and family.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome back to our stage so many New Rep favorites in our much anticipated production of Fiddler on the Roof,” says Managing Director Harriet Sheets. “We’d also like to welcome back Austin Pendleton. While this is his first time directing for us, he is no stranger to our stage having appeared in Quills, Waiting for Godot, and King Lear. His play, Orson’s Shadow, also received its Boston-area premiere during our 2006-2007 season to resounding critical praise, and in 2015 we were honored to present him with New Rep’s Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement at our annual Gala.”
Tickets to the play cost $35-$65 and may be purchased by calling the New Rep Box Office at 617-923-8487 or visiting http://www.newrep.org. Student tickets are only $20. Senior and group discounts are also available. Subscription packages that include Fiddler on the Roof are also available.
