The Gala marks an extraordinary milestone for The National Yiddish Theatre - Folksbiene: it is the inaugural event of its 100th consecutive season. Our precious history and the cultural legacy of Eastern European Jewry remains alive and vital in Yiddish theatre, most emphatically in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, the theatrical masterpiece based on stories by Shalom Aleichem, created by Sheldon Harnick, Jerry Bock, and Joseph Stein, originally produced on Broadway by Harold Prince, with direction and choreography by Jerome Robbins. On June 9, we collectively thank Sheldon Harnick for enriching our lives.
