Fiddler On The Roof Play Analysis

A turnout of over 75 tickets were bought within the hour they were being sold. Kenneth Powers, crewmember, gave a description of the feeling that the night gave him. “The show wasn't packed, but it was definitely enough to make some of us nervous”.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. PSC will be putting on their final three performances this weekend. Show dates for “Fiddler on the Roof” are Friday and Saturday, March, 18-19, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, March 13 and 20, at 2:30 p.m. at the Church-McKee Arts
