Weber Presents 'Joseph And the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'

This Friday through the drama club will proudly present their annual musical production of: “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

The musical, which is told in a high-energy rock opera style (yes, that means hardly any speaking lines) was the first musical written by the dynamic team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. “Joseph” is based on the biblical story of “Joseph and his multicolored coat,” from the book of Genesis.  The show shares the tale of how Joseph, Jacob’s favorite son, is blessed with prophetic dreams.  He is then sold into slavery by his conniving and jealous brothers, but is able to overcome his odds and achieve greatness. Joseph continually shares with the audience that dreams really can come true.

Weber’s production of “Joseph” is directed by Weber English teacher Mrs. Stacey Portmore-Davies, musically directed by Salem music teacher Mrs. Allison Friedman, and choreographed by Salem 4th grade teacher Ms. Stacey Baker.  The show features more than 100 talented students in the cast, pit orchestra, and crew.

Performances will be held on Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm, and Sunday, at 3 p.m. in the Weber auditorium.  Tickets are $5 for general admission, $3 for students and senior citizens, and children five and under are free
