WEATHERVANE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Presents
An Akron Holiday Tradition
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
"Four Years in a Row for a Darn Good Reason!"

Weathervane announces performances of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" -- back by popular demand for the 
holiday season.  "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is a 
Youth/Family production on stage at Weathervane from Saturday, November 22 - Sunday, 
December 21, 2003.  (Performance schedule at end of release.)  Most performers 
are students between the ages of 12 and 18. Adults perform the roles of Joseph, 
Narrator and Jacob.

The musical retells the story of Joseph, a young man with a knack for having 
prophetic dreams, who incurs the jealousy of his brothers when his father 
gives him a magnificent coat.  The energetic musical score includes many styles of 
songs including country, calypso and good ol' rock and roll.
