Charlotte Hungerford Hospital Presents the Warner Stage Company's Production of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT

Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine! You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time!

The Warner Stage Company will present one of the most enduring shows of all time, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, on the Main Stage July 27-August 4, 2019.

The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice collaboration is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar's wife.

While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph's solution to Egypt's famine elevates him to Pharaoh's right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

The magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads ("Those Canaan Days"), to country-western ("One More Angel in Heaven") and calypso ("Benjamin Calypso"), along with the unforgettable classics "Any Dream Will Do" and "Close Every Door."

Performances are July 27, August 2 & 3 at 8 pm and July 28 & August 4 at 2 pm. The Warner Stage Company production is directed and choreographed by Meredith Porri with musical direction by Dan Porri.

The cast features Katie Cummings, Noel Roberge, Christopher Roberge, Hal Chernoff, Bret Bisaillon, Joe Guttadauro, Frank Beaudry, Lou Oporto, Tony Leone, Austin Tewksbury, Ryan Frechette, Robbie James, Ruben Soto, Dylan Zawisza, Trecia Austin, Kaitlyn Anthony, Lynn Beard, Momo Burns-Min, Caitlin Beaudry, Grace Consonni, Emily Flynn, Katie Leone, Lilliana McGrath, Kelsey Morris, Reyna Santiago, Riley Delaney, Ethan Hannon, Kathleen Lundgren, Taryn McCloud and Katie Tewskbury.

Built by Warner Brothers Studios and opened in 1931 as a movie palace (1,772 seats), the Warner Theatre was described then as "Connecticut's Most Beautiful Theatre." Damaged extensively in a flood, the Warner was slated for demolition in the early 1980s until the non-profit Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts (NCAA) was founded and purchased the theatre. The Warner reopened as a performing arts center in 1983, and restoration of the main lobbies and auditorium was completed in November 2002. In 2008, the new 50,000 square foot Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts Center, which houses a 300 seat Studio Theatre, 200 seat restaurant and expansive school for the arts, was completed. Today, the Warner is in operation year-round with more than 160 performances and 100,000 patrons passing through its doors each season.

Over 10,000 students, pre K-adult, participate in arts education programs and classes. Together, with the support of the community, the Warner has raised close to $17 million to revitalize its facilities. NCAA's mission is to preserve the Warner Theatre as an historic landmark, enhance its reputation as a center of artistic excellence and a focal point of community involvement, and satisfy the diverse cultural needs of the region.
