Lincoln High School Drama present
The 16th Annual New Works Festival
MONUMENTAL

In this season’s festival, four playwrights investigate how life changing events collide with evolving mythology over the course of 200 years… In 2019, a large monument appears, fully erected - and with no explanation - in the parking lot of a high school. In 2119, the monument is guarded by a youth military unit in the middle of an alien invasion. In 2219, it is now the primary religious symbol in a mysterious, walled off community. And before it appeared, back in 2017, five teenagers may hold secrets that explain how and why it arrived… Through comedy, satire, suspense, and tragedy, these young and talented playwrights guide the audience through a mesmerizing theatrical labyrinth that guarantees to both entertain and provoke…

Director Matthew B Zrebski

Fiddler on the roof

Fiddler on the Roof is a musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein, set in the Pale of Settlement of Imperial Russia in 1905. It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Dairyman) and other tales by Sholem Aleichem. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family's lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love – each one's choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of their Jewish faith and heritage – and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
