Local resident Ken Brookes is currently appearing as Lazar Wolf in Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center’s production of Fiddler on the Roof. Brookes, who portrayed the conductor for several years on weekends at the Santa Paula train depot, is making his first appearance on the community theater musical stage. Other experience includes work as a church soloist in the LA area and Ventura County.

For over fifty years, Fiddler on the Roof has captured the hearts of people all over the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. Based on the stories of Sholem Aleichem, the universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion. In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor milkman is trying to keep his family’s traditions in place. Yet, times are changing. And when Tevye’s daughters want to make their own matches, he must choose between his own daughters’ happiness and those beloved traditions that keep the outside world at bay. Yet it is Tevye’s love of his family, pride and faith that help him face the dangerous forces in Anatevka which threaten to destroy the very life he and his fellow villagers are trying to preserve. Filled with such classics as “If I Were A Rich Man”, “Sunrise, Sunset”, “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and of course “Tradition”, Fiddler on the Roof remains one of the world’s most beloved shows. No other musical has so magically woven music, dance, poignancy and laughter into such an electrifying and unforgettable experience. SVCAC is proud to bring back one of its most requested productions in celebration of their 20th Anniversary.

Fiddler on the Roof has performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm with two special Thursday performances at 8:00 pm on October 8 and 15, 2015.
