Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Continues Sunday
July 27, 2008
The Greater Escambia Council for the Arts performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat continues today and Sunday at Neal High School in Brewton.
Composed in 1976, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a sensory overload. The show is a Biblical story woven with a colorful cacophony of lights, music, and dancing. You can experience the dream as you are taken back to ancient Israel and Egypt in a blaze of color. The one remaining performance is Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at the auditorium at Neal High School in Brewton. Tickets are eight dollars for adults, and six dollars for children under 12.
Rehearsals for the production began in early June with a rigorous schedule of dance, blocking, and music practices. A difficult show requires talented actors; fortunately, the Escambia county has always faithfully provided these.
One such talented person is Atmore native Perry Jones, who takes the title role of Joseph. Alongside Jones are Ellen Johnson and Kate Sherrill who narrate the show.
Other notable characters are Pharaoh, played by John Mascara, an ex-off-Broadway actor from Walnut Hill, Fl; Potiphar, played by Rev. Mike McMorris; Mrs. Potiphar, played by Kris Woods; and Jacob, played by Norman Boyd.
The cast also includes the Hon. Steve Billy, the Hon. Dave Jordan, Marnin and Jerry Gehman, Timothy Huber, Daniel and Phil Johnson, Nathan Lindsey, and Joseph Watson as Joseph’s brothers. The chorus also features the talents of Britney and Pam Dees, Delilah Holloway, Sharon Poulsen, Anne and Meg Sherrill, Gilda Stubben, and Kaitlyn Woods. A children’s ensemble will also be prominently featured. The show is directed by Phil Johnson.
