BREAK FROM CHRISTMAS CHAOS >>>
You know you're already humming "If I Were a Rich Man" in your head. If you aren't, I am.
Once again, Olympia's Capitol Theater screens the classic musical film Fiddler on the Roof Christmas day. But beyond simply watching, you will be immersed in the total If-I-Were-A-Rich-Man experience - you will have the chance to sing along.
Or at least you can move your lips to the words to pretend like you're singing along. That part is up to you.
If you've never seen the film before, it is an adaptation of a popular Broadway musical. The plot revolves around a 1905 village in the Ukraine ghetto of Anatevka and the rich and often humorous cast of characters who live there - including, of course, a dude who likes to play his fiddle on a roof.
But what is a show on Christmas without giving back? Along with enjoying the snazzy tunes and general revelry with your fellow show-goers, the Olympia Film Society and Temple Beth Hatfiloh ask you to bring warm coats and blankets to donate to the Emma Goldman Youth & Homeless Outreach Project, or EGYHOP. EGYHOP is a mission dedicated to delivering direct service items and resources to youth, homeless and those with low income in Olympia at absolutely no cost to recipients. Coats and blankets can be used, but must be clean and in good condition.
There will also be a costume contest, if you wish to join in. Wear your best Fiddler-related costumes. If you are an especially convincing Ukrainian peasant, you may even win a prize.
CAPITOL THEATER, TUESDAY, DEC. 25, 5 P.M., 206 FIFTH AVE. SE, OLYMPIA, 360.754.6670
