The Story:Joseph, a young man with a knack for having prophetic dreams, and the favorite son in the family, incurs the jealousy of his brothers when he is given a magnificent coat of many colors by his doting father. Joseph's brothers sell him into slavery in Egypt, where his special gifts save the
country from famine and eventually secure him a position as the Pharaoh's right-hand man. In due time he is reunited with his now contrite and guilt-ridden brothers. The story makes the point that one must reach for one's dreams, and they will come to pass.
Performance Dates: November 26-Dec. 5, 2010. This performance is in addition to our season, and is not part of the regular season tickets.
