2026 Season Lineup
Fiddler on the Roof More
02/27/2026 – 03/29/2026Rated G – Suitable for all audiences
A joyous celebration of life and love! Fiddler on the Roof returns in an intimate new staging, brimming with iconic music and heart. Don’t miss this limited run of one of the greatest musicals ever written. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof’s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Great Balls of Fire More
07/24/2026 – 08/09/2026Rated PG – Some innuendo, appropriate for all ages
Created by Jason Cohen and Michael Schiralli, Great Balls of Fire is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of the raw energy, humor, and sheer joy of rock’s earliest days. Expect to dance, clap, sing along, and leave asking: “Goodness gracious—when can we buy tickets again?!”
After igniting stages across the country as Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet, Jason Cohen brings his ivory-smashing, high-octane performance to a brand-new theatrical concert. With a band of world-class multi-instrumentalist singer-musicians, Cohen dives into the music that shaped rock ‘n’ roll—Jerry Lee Lewis’s hits alongside the sounds of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, and the gospel and New Orleans rhythms that inspired them all.

This holiday season, Sierra Rep brings you a comedy that bites as hard as it delights.
