"Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were a Rich Man" and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," are just a few of the well-known songs found in
Fiddler on the Roof. Rich in historical and ethnic detail and requiring a cast of various ages, Reading Civic Theatre is honored to have the opportunity to bring this show to the Berks County area!
