Set in the little village of Anatevka, Russia, Tevye, a poor milkman, his wife, Golde, and his five daughters, along with the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Winner of nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler on the Roof is the brainchild of Broadway legends, Jerome Robbins and Harold Prince; songwriters, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick; and bookwriter, Joseph Stein. Touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this universal show is a staple of the musical theatre canon.*

Shalom Christian Academy is a Pre-K through 12th grade school focused on developing lives of consequence in the world for the kingdom of God. We seek to provide an environment that engages the mind—and the heart—of every student. Our programs are established on the fact that God’s word is the standard of truth—guiding our school’s focus, purpose, and direction. Our Christian culture and education standpoint is simply an extension of what is taught first by parents in the home and through the local church.

SCA's Drama department encourages students to explore their gifts and talents beyond the classroom. Shalom’s proficient and dedicated faculty encourage students to flourish artistically, develop their skills, build relationships, and share their talents with the community. Our teachers care about students as a whole person, providing them with the space to express themselves thoughtfully, work with others, and glorify God with their gifts. The drama program inspires middle and high school students to express themselves and pursue a new persona while collaborating with a team. In drama classes, students learn to convey emotions, share a message with conviction, express empathy, and work together toward a goal. Each class experiences the behind-the-scenes skills needed to create and perform in multiple productions a year. Students learn projection, expression, improvisation, team building, and collaboration—all skills that will benefit them in the future. Past shows have included The Music Man, Alice in Wonderland, Adventure of the Speckled Band, The Jungle Book, The Enchantment of Beauty and the Beast, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, to name a few.
