What do you get when you combine camels, harems, desert, and a colorful dreamcoat? You get a play that is technically . . . Once tnere was a young near named Joseph, who lived with his father and eleven brothers Joseph, so they say, was a dreamer and a seer of visions He dreamt of kings, kingdoms, but mostly of be- coming a big star on the stage. His only problem was that there were no theaters in Canaan. So, he obtained a visa to the United States and brought his production, Joseph and the Amazing Techicolor Dreamcoat, to our school. AMAZING. When the show, based on the Biblical story of Joseph hit the stage April li, i2 and 13 of i984 it set new standards for high school performances, ln the show, the insightful, pure-hearted Joseph was played by Chris lvlitchell. Bob- by Lewis and CeCi Stephens narrated, and John Daria played Qameses, who thrilled the audience with his leg-shaking Elvis impersonation. But one thing that really grabbed the audience was guest appearances by mem- bers of the faculty. Paul Lank- ford of the English department played the butler, Bob Stahlin of the business education de- partment played Jacob, and Elisha l-larris played the pha- roah's baker. The colossus performonce wasn't, of course, without its share of hard work. The project, itself, began early in January and went on all the way until opening night. Special props for the show included a minio- ture Sphinx, a golden chariot, and a six foot, paper mache camel. ln the end, the show was easily dubbed a hit . With sell- out crowds each night and standing ovations after each performance. The only dues- tion that was left to ponder upon was if Joseph, himself, could have dreamt of such a success. - Tony Arviola Ks lt I, sf HX I' 4. , .
