Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his FIve daughters. With the help of a
colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye 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. Directed by our very own Jewish Toledo star, Irina Zaurov!

We’re digging into the creative world of hand-building ceramics, a simple, hands-on technique using clay. This workshop
will guide you from the ground up as you create your very own ceramic charcuterie board. You’ll hand-build your piece, which
will then be fired in a kiln, bringing your creation to life. No prior ceramic experience is necessary, just come ready to get a little
messy and have fun!
