We will be casting 85 children plus developing a working crew for the show. --wiz.ard'' will be performed on July 12-14 and rehearsals will be held in June. All cast and crew will be charged a $25 participation fee and will receive a souvenir T-shirt.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES "May I return to the beginning ... "

As the coat in its story, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAM COAT is a work of many colors. Written in I 967 as a "pop contata" for the school at St. Paul's Junior School, JOSEPH was the first collaborative work between Andrew Lloyd Webber (JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, EVITA, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA) and Tim Rice (JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, EVITA, Disney's THE LION KING). At its first performance it lasted only fifteen minutes. Following nine revisions JOSEPH received its Broadway debut on January 17, 1982. This was a work originally written for children so it is interesting to note that by the 1982 production the children's choir had been omitted entirely.

Ten years later a new production featuring a fifty voice children's choir premiered at the newly restored state theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Taken from the smash production at the London Palladium, this was the first professional production to include the children' choir.

When the curtain rises on each performance of this production of JOSEPH, most of the audience will be unaware of the contributions and labor of the many people who have worked behind-the-scenes to make it possible. The taste of the director, choreographer, the musical director, and the designer is to tell you a story. Their role is to move you and transport you back to Egypt 1759 BC (by way of Carnaby Street 1968, and later to a mega-party in the present.).

This is the story of a child who grows to be a man, told to the audience through sight and sound. An ancient tale is made enthralling by Andrew Lloyd Webber's and Tim Rice's brilliant musical score, the designer's and choreographer's formidable talents to create magic and color in a theatrical setting, and a dream cast who bring it to glorious life. Sets. Costumes. Lights. Sound. People. Each of these set the whole thing in motion. Join us as we "draw back the curtain" and ''return to the beginning."
