Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat

Performance Dates and Times:
August 5 - 7 at 7 PM and a Matinée Sat., Aug. 7 at 2 PM
Syracuse High School

Tickets:
$6 General Admission
$5 Students & Seniors (with ID), and Children under 12 years of age

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 (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, 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 bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless. Directed and choreographed by Liz Christensen. Musical Direction by Taylor Williams.
Lyrics By Tim Rice and Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR® DREAMCOAT is presented through an exclusive arrangement with R & H Theatricals and The Really Useful Group Limited.

Help Wanted: Summer Musical Theater Production 2010

Preparations are underway to get the ball rolling for the Syracuse City summer musical! We have narrowed down the list of possible choices to just a few shows and are making inquiries that will allow us to make a final decision, hopefully in the not too far future! At this time we're taking the opportunity to begin to assemble our production team for the show--and we need you...or someone YOU know to help out backstage this year.

We will be taking applications for a director, musical director, and choreographer, as well as set, lighting and sound designers, a stage manager, a box office/financial manager and a costume designer. If you would like to apply for any of these positions, or would like more information as it becomes available, please email Heather Steed at (this is spelled to prevent bots from using this email: arts at syracuseut.com). You may also post a comment below and we will get in touch with you. Also, please forward this information to anyone you know who might be qualified to help fill these critical positions.

Again, we're looking forward to an exciting year and will let you know what show we'll be staging as soon as we have a decision.

Syracuse Community Choir

For the last several years, Shannon Elmer has faithfully stood at the helm of our community choir, and the Arts Council board would like to thank her for her dedication and service to our community. At this time, the board has made the decision to discontinue our community choir program in favor of some new endeavors the council would like to pursue (or maybe we say it is in order to execute a more conservative budget plan). We hope that at some future date we can once again have a successful community choir. A big thanks goes out to all who have participated in our community choir, and we invite you to look into getting involved in the Arts Council in other ways...perhaps by volunteering on a committee or auditioning for a production.
