WEATHERVANE PLAYHOUSE presents <I>Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat</I>. This season marks the 10<SUP>th</SUP> Anniversary of Akron's

and a huge and talented cast! Weathervane Playhouse is pleased to announce
seventeen performances of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway blockbuster.
<I>Joseph</I> has instant appeal for every audience, shimmering with elaborately
staged production numbers and a score full of hits! Back by popular demand,
<I>Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat</I> is a Young Actor Series

<P align=left>Joseph </I>is a rainbow ride through biblical Egypt on the wings
of Andrew Lloyd Webber's uplifting music and the humor of lyricist Tim Rice. The
musical tells the story of Joseph, a young man with a knack for having prophetic
dreams. He incurs the jealousy of his brothers when his father gives him a
magnificent colorful coat. The adventure that ensues tells an epic tale of
biblical proportion! </P>
