Tradition collides with toe-tapping joy when Tevye, his stubborn daughters, and a certain fiddler balance life, love, and laughter on the precarious rooftops of Anatevka! Sing along to “If I Were a Rich Man,” wipe away a tear during “Sunrise, Sunset,” then toast “L’Chaim!” as this beloved musical serves up heartfelt comedy, rousing dance, and a reminder that even in changing times, family and faith keep us steady. Gather your whole mishpacha—tickets will fly faster than a bottle dance!
The Choir is a choral group of about 45 adults and teens. The Choir rehearses every Thursday night from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. and sings at most Sunday worship services from September through June. Led by Music Director Kate Crellin, and Pianist Stephen Pitters, the choir sings a wide range of music from traditional church choral music to gospel to more modern compositions. It is an active group that participates in choir festivals, goes on choir tours, presents musicals, and has a number of gatherings throughout the year that foster fellowship and lifelong friendships. Contact MBCC Music Director Kate Crellin (e-mail link) or call the church office (310-372-3587) if interested.
