DAYTON–This year's fall musical Fiddler on the Roof rehearsals are nearing the end; with over fifty local cast and crew members, this favorite's first performance is November 14.

This year's production of Fiddler on the Roof of over 50 local cast and crew members, tells a story of Tevye, a poor milkman, his wife Golde, and his five daughters.
