Chris Moses, Artistic Director of the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, GA, spoke in July 2025 about the decision for the Alliance Theatre and The Atlanta Opera to co-produce a new staging of Fiddler on the Roof. He explained that the choice was intentional: “We are overjoyed to share this vibrant production with Atlanta that continually fosters community and hope even in the most trying of times.”
Fiddler on the Roof has endured across continents and generations because it speaks directly to the soul. Presenting this story at such a moment is more than theatre—it is an act of courage. In a time of rising antisemitism and deep division, art can illuminate truth and confront hatred. Thank you, Chris, for recognizing that Fiddler on the Roof imparts timeless lessons showing us that through understanding, compassion, and resilience, fear and hatred can be overcome.
