A SPECIAL MOMENT. 🙏

This wasn't just another performance...

Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington joined us backstage before curtain to offer a blessing and share uplifting words with our entire company.

In the middle of an incredibly busy schedule, he made time to personally experience our performance.

To have our Bishop bless this production and our cast during our milestone 25th anniversary season...

It's a reminder of why we do this work.

Theatre that uplifts. Stories rooted in faith. Art that brings communities together.

Thank you, Bishop Burbidge, for your support and blessing!

This review just dropped from DC Theater Arts and we're honestly still catching our breath. 🎭✨

"A powerful, passionate Fiddler on the Roof"

"staged with unparalleled excellence"

"Upper Room Theatre's Fiddler on the Roof is a triumph."

They praised our direction, our music, our choreography, our lighting. They called our Tevye "passionate, hilarious, and incredibly believable." They said the bottle dance "brought gasps and cheers."

Over 3,400 tickets sold proves our audiences agree.

And now? COMPLETELY SOLD OUT.

Every single performance. Tuesday through Sunday. Gone.

But we're keeping wait lists for all remaining shows. If you want a shot at getting in this weekend, add your name now:

Sunrise, sunset... 🌅

Twenty years ago, Father Peter Nassetta played Tevye on this stage. Last night he came back... not to sing, but to lead our company in prayer before curtain.

Look closely at the group photo. Several of those faces were part of that original Fiddler company, and they're back on our stage or behind-the-scenes this week!

Twenty years. Two Tevyes. One tradition. 🙏🎭

Swiftly flow the years, indeed.

Speaking of which... our remaining seats are going swiftly!

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are now SOLD OUT. We're down to just a handful of tickets for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And wait lists are forming.

Picture it: no set, no costumes, no orchestra yet... just the entire cast standing together, singing the score of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF from top to bottom for the very first time. 🎵

That moment happened a few weeks ago.

After days of learning the music one piece at a time...

Shaping the harmonies...

Building the big group numbers...

Finding every solo and quiet character moment...

Our Music Director Chris Zavadowski gathered the whole company for our first full sing-through.

"This is always one of the most exciting moments in the process," Chris shared. "We spend weeks pulling the score apart... the harmonies, the group numbers, every solo... but the first time the whole cast sings it together, that's when you truly feel how the music carries the entire story."

"Bock and Harnick's score does something rare. It can have you laughing out loud in one number and wiping away tears in the next. Even this early in the process, there weren't many dry eyes in the room."

You could see it on everyone's faces.

The excitement. The realization that this 25th anniversary production is going to be something truly special.

And that was weeks ago.

With plenty of polishing still ahead. And a live orchestra still to come.

So what you'll hear on our stage will be even fuller. Even richer.

And you're just 8 DAYS away from experiencing it in person when we open! 🎻
