Director Steve Duprey says the Newark High School Drama Club’s presentation March 6-8th of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” will be high-energy, lots of fun and colorful. “It’s a great show, but the most amazing thing about it to me is how dedicated the cast is to it and they bring such wonderful energy to the show,’’ said Duprey, who is now in his fourteenth year of directing musicals and plays at NHS. “It’s one of the most enthusiastic casts I’ve worked with.” The show is the musical retelling of the Biblical story of Joseph _ who has prophetic dreams _ his coat of many colors, his devoted father, his jealous brothers, and the incredible twists and turns of his life that test his spirit and his faith, but ultimately triumph.

The timeless Old Testament tale touches on themes of family, sibling rivalry, jealousy, forgiveness, and redemption. This family-friendly musical is full of unforgettable songs _ including "Those Canaan Days" "Any Dream Will Do" and "Close Every Door" that are cleverly written in a variety of engaging musical styles.

The music is by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics are by Tim Rice. “There’s something special about it. It’s a show I’ve always wanted to do,’’ he said. “There’s lots of variety in it.

The talent is great and there are real lessons to be learned.” Cast members and their grade level at NHS include: Mary Adkins, 10, Wife; Devin Anglin,11, Levi; Sami Cepulo, 11, Mrs. Potiphar; Riley Collins, 12, Butler; Mara Cornwell, 10, Wife; Shelby Cramer, 10, Baker; Makalah Crawford, 11, Narrator;
