Tevye in New York!
By Tom Dugan
Directed by JP Hubbell
LOG LINE: You’ve seen the movie and the musical, but did you ever wonder what happened to Tevye after Fiddler?
From the creator of the award-winning play Wiesenthal comes Tom Dugan’s newest one-man show: Tevye In New York! Based on Sholom Aleichem’s beloved characters, immortalized in Fiddler on the Roof, this new tale picks up where the original stories left off.
Follow Tevye as he and his daughters journey across the Atlantic, pass through Ellis Island, and settle in 1914 Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Experience Tevye’s reflections on women’s rights, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, and newfangled inventions like automobiles and telephones. Witness his transformation from humble street merchant to proud grocery store owner on Delancey Street. With humor and heart, Tevye In New York! explores what it means to be an American Jew.
