Told entirely through song, this lively production follows the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, and his eleven brothers—from betrayal and hardship to forgiveness and triumph. Guided by a dynamic Narrator, audiences journey with Joseph from his days as a favored son to slavery in Egypt, imprisonment, and ultimately his rise to power as Pharaoh’s trusted advisor. Along the way, the show delights with a playful mix of musical styles, including country-western, calypso, pop, and parody, featuring favorites like “Any Dream Will Do,” “Close Every Door,” and “Go, Go, Go Joseph.” Performed by the talented Raue Center School for the Arts student cast, ages 10–18, this family-friendly production celebrates resilience, hope, and the power of dreams—making it a joyful theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.
