The Litchfield Community Theatre production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” will open tomorrow night and will continue Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Bernie Aaker Auditorium. Tickets are on sale at Litchfield Community Education and at litchfieldcommunitytheatre.com and will be sold at the door.
Sara Dollerschell is one of the 3 narrators in the production and says the cast and crew are ready to present a great show to the community. She says it’s all singing.
Dollerschell says there is so much happening on the stage and there is a huge pyramid and they perform on different levels of it. She says she, Ali Lundin and Mila Hanson do some 3-part harmony in their roles together as narrators and they will also bring props to the actors on stage.
Mila Hanson says “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is very high-energy. She says there are a lot of costume-changes and the narrators even change costumes a couple of times.
Hanson says there are two acts and there’s a 15-minute intermission between the acts. For more information about “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” call Litchfield Community Education at 693-2354.

Litchfield native Karen Christie Zoller has written a book titled “Winds of Change.” She will be at the Litchfield Public Library this Saturday – July 27th – from 2-to-3:30 selling and signing copies of the book.
Karen says she moved to Litchfield when she was 12-years-old, and writing a book was a life-long dream as she has been writing since the age of 7. She says the book contains some stories and a lot of poetry and she is hoping to especially reach teenagers with her book.
Karen says “Winds of Change” can be purchased on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, and teenagers are finding it on Instagram. She says she’s working on another book – based on her grandson – which addresses special needs, and the fact that children with special needs want to be accepted just like anyone else.
