[Capdist-auditions] SCT Auditions for "Joseph" Grades 1-12 (NO FEE)

[Erika Hebert]

Saratoga Children's Theatre
announces auditions for an October 2010 production of

*Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat*

Lyrics by Tim Rice
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Erika Hebert, Director
Michael Lotano, Music Director
Rosie Spring, Choreographer

*Joseph…* is the biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes
to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father’s
favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into
slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series
of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged.
He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar’s wife
lands him in jail. When news of Joseph’s gift to interpret dreams reaches
the Pharaoh, Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command.
Eventually his brothers unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of
the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their
integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of
the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from
country-western and calypso to pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament
tale emerges both timely and timeless.
