CommunityAbilene Christian University chose 'Fiddler on the Roof' for its homecoming musical, at the Boone Family Theater from Oct. 29 through Nov. 1.
Evening shows were at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee. Thursday's opening was a donate-what-you-can preview.
The musical follows Tevye, a poor milkman in the village of Anatevka, as he tries to raise five daughters and hold on to tradition while customs change and antisemitism grows in Czarist Russia. The score includes 'Sunrise, Sunset' and 'If I Were a Rich Man.'
Dawne Swearingen Meeks directed. Tickets were $50, or $25 for children 12 and under, with $15 rush seats for area college students an hour before doors opened. The show was recommended for ages 13 and up.
