Opening Night for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”

“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” opens tonight at 7 p.m. and continues Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the Bernie Aaker Auditorium. If you’ve never attended a Litchfield Community Theatre production or if you’re a faithful attendee of their productions, you won’t want to miss this show.

Director Tim Nelson and his cast and crew have been working hard all summer on this production and are ready to perform. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” uses songs – often in a comedic way – to tell the story of Joseph and his brothers from the final chapters of the book of Genesis as Joseph’s jealous brothers sell him into slavery and he ends up as a powerful leader in Egypt – second only to Pharaoh – and saves many people, including his brothers and their families, from a future famine. Nelson says a huge pyramid is affixed in the middle of the Bernie Aaker Auditorium stage where much of the show is performed.

Adam Stern has returned to his hometown of Litchfield this summer to perform in the lead role of Joseph and is supported by a very talented cast. The singing, choreography and costumes in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” have propelled Litchfield Community Theatre to a new level of professionalism. Tickets will be available at the door or call Litchfield Community Education at 693-2354 or go to litchfieldcommunitytheatre.com.
