Senior Bus Trip to "Fiddler on the Roof" at Boulder Dinner Theatre

Join us for what's sure to be a bittersweet evening at the penultimate performance of "Fiddler on the Roof" at the Boulder Dinner Theatre.  Having put on many plays and musicals since 1977, the Boulder Dinner Theatre will be shutting it's doors forever at the end of it's 45th season, and is saying goodbye with a crowd favorite.  Set in the early 1900's, the musical "Fiddler on the Roof" tells the story of a local milkman in a Russian Jewish village who tries to keep his Jewish traditions alive while his five daughters have other ideas when it comes to love.  Dinner is served by the actors at the theatre before the start of the show and usually features food choices reflective of the musical being presented.  Our special group rate includes bottomless coffee, tea, and soda, and our gratuity is already included.  Appetizers, desserts, and alcoholic beverages are extra.  Reserve your spot today by dropping off payment at town hall.  Scholarship funding is made available by a grant from the Lyons Community Foundation. 

Ages: 55 and up
Date: Thursday, January 11, 2024,  5:15 - 10 pm
