Background to Musical

Straight from the Book of Genesis, Joseph tells the tale of the young prophet Joseph (portrayed by Arts Center favorite David Alan Winton), and his fateful journey as the favored son of his father, Jacob. He is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, and after a stint of impressive dream-translations, finds himself at the top with Pharaoh the king. The role of the Narrator will be shared by two outstanding performers, Kerri Kairdolf and Mary Ellen Smith.
