JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
Director/Choreographer- Richard Sabellico
Performance Dates- July 25, 2018-August 12, 2018- First rehearsal July 10, 2018
Four Ladies: These multi-talented women appear in the play as many characters: Jacob’s wives, saloon girls, dancing girls, and so on.
The Eleven Sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Napthali, Isaacher, Asher, Dan, Zebulun, Gad, Benjamin, Judah—although acting usually as a group—have their own different personalities, talents, and flaw. As a group they sell Joseph into slavery, but as individuals they deal with the following years and how they can make amends. They sing and dance their way through many situations and places, and also double as Egyptians in many cases.
Ishmaelites: Men of the desert, they buy Joseph as a slave, take him to Egypt, and sell him to Potiphar. Played by the Eleven sons
