Join us for a screening of Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles a perfect pairing with our discussion of Tevye the Dairyman the night before. Thursday, May 21st, 6 pm, Library Annex (52 Main St) "Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles is the first documentary to chronicle the complete story of the international Broadway blockbuster musical “Fiddler on the Roof” by exploring the unexpected richness of its themes as well as its extensive reach across time and cultures. “Fiddler on the Roof” is the tale of Jewish immigrants coming to America, of immigrants and refugees trying to escape persecution in their homeland, of the fraying of tradition, generational tension and the loss of roots. Featuring rare archival footage, the documentary also includes personal experiences and insights into the show’s timeless impact from “Fiddler on the Roof” composer and lyricist Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick as well commentary from former cast and creative members along with famous fans impacted by the musical, including Joel Grey, Topol, Harvey Fierstein, Harold Prince, Itzhak Perlman, Stephen Sondheim, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and many others." This event is part of Between Two Worlds, an ongoing series inspired and supported by the @yiddish_book_center . Between Two Worlds is an exploration of memory, belonging, language, and written and oral storytelling, through the lens of Yiddish culture and the many worlds of Easthampton.
