The small Jewish village of Anatevka, Russia, home to a tight-knit community of peasants, is the setting for New Artists Productions’ spring stage presentation, Broadway Junior’s “Fiddler on the Roof Junior.” The musical takes place in 1905 and is concerned primarily with the efforts of a poor dairyman, Tevye, his wife, Golde, and their five daughters to cope with their harsh existence under tsarist rule.

“Fiddler on the Roof Junior” will be presented April 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13, at The Sprague Community Theater. Friday and Saturday shows will be at 7 p.m., and Sunday matinees will be at 2 p.m. The show is directed by Dan and Anita Almich, founders of New Artists Productions.

The cast of 26 young actors, ages 7 to 18, will bring the audience on a journey through life in Anatevka, according to a press release. The journey outlines life’s triangle formed by the traditions of the Jewish faith, the love of family and the subtle changes occurring within the family and village because of the outside influences.

Teyve is played by Cody Waddington and Golde is played by Clarissa Castaldi. Teyve’s five daughters are played by Hope and Zeta Hay, Tessa Fuller, Jeneveve Winchell and Autumn Moss-Strong. Also playing supporting roles are Liza-May Skeie, Destyni Fuller, Robin Hill, Russel and Josiah Hay, Larkin Madden, Chelsea Hill, Thaddeus Miller, Linzi Silburn, Katheryn Sands, Rose Garrett, Jordan and Hayley Chandler, Megan Hultin, Mercedese Mannon, Sarah Skeie, Alaina Russell and Darby and Max Underdown.
