Seeking actors ages 16+ for "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" show. Please see the breakdown below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar's wife.
