             Fiddler on the Roof is set to raise the rafters of Arts Centre


             Ray Dance and Judith Sharp will be
             staging Fiddler on the Roof at the
             Arts Centre next month.

             as it was a century ago.  It focuses
             upon the hardship in the lives of
             Russian Jews who were forced
