This 90-minute version of one of the Bard's greatest plays will be performed by members of Kentucky Shakespeare. Their presentation of Macbeth last December was a sell-out - so call now to reserve your seat for Hamlet. Doors open at 6:30 pm for light refreshments before the show. Seating is limited to 60 people; reservations are required.

    "Fiddler on the Roof" at CenterStage
    Direct from Broadway’s Golden Age of musical theater, “Fiddler on the Roof” returns to CenterStage, not only as a perfect finale to their 100th anniversary season, but also as a fitting opening celebration of the Jewish Community Center of Louisville’s 125 Anniversary. With themes of tradition, family and community, there is no better way to honor the traditions of the past while looking forward to the future of these two well-known Louisville institutions than with this timeless classic. “Fiddler on the Roof” recently celebrated its 50th anniversary proving that although the show is inherently Jewish, it appeals to all with its timeless and universal themes. “Fiddler” is a celebration of life and its constant challenges.
