The Roustabouts Youth Division Concert Reading
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
The Roustabouts Youth Division presents a concert reading of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a musical that follows the biblical story of Jacob's favorite son, Joseph, and his eleven brothers. Joseph is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and ends up imprisoned by an Egyptian noble.
Directed by Phil Johnson and Becky Cherlin, Joseph is the inaugural production of the recently launched Roustabouts Youth Division, where young actors from all over San Diego County, at all levels of experience, come together for unique learning experiences, specialized training, and performance opportunities.
We're thrilled to share this family-friendly retelling of Joseph, with its memorable music that is continually celebrated on stages around the world.
