Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Shines at the Ernest Borgnine Theatre

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Aug. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- A crash of drums. A flash of light. And art-in-relation explodes with the Andrew Lloyd Webber spectacular, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

This international audience hit plays two weekends at the Ernest Borgnine Theatre, August 14 - 23, 2015. The show is a lovely, comic and colorful journey through the biblical story of young Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers after his father favored him with a gorgeous colored cloak. His gift of prophecy saves him from an uncertain fate and helps him to rescue Egypt from famine.

Animated with a high-energy mix of music and dancing from 50's rock to calypso to country& western, this show is a favorite with casts and audiences alike. The production is hailed for its family-friendly storyline, universal themes and catchy music.

Directed by Ray Buffer, this production also features the creative talents of Fernando Christopher as choreographer and assistant director, Gary Fritzen as music director, Mcleod Benson as lighting designer and technical director, Dan O'Brien as set designer, Nick Tidwell as costume designer, Dominique Johnson as stage manager, Matthew Stroud as assistant stage manager, Tim Spivey as the lead sound engineer, Sierra Green as dance captain, Joshua Martinez as running crew, and Ericka Honstley as blogger.  the production is produced by Art-In-Relation founders, Jonas Sills and Ray Buffer, with Heidi Sills.

As the performance begins, the audience is first introduced to a group of vibrant young dancers in the midst of one of their final rehearsals.  Their choreographer and teacher (Stella Kim as the Narrator) singles out one of the students who isn't performing to his potential.  After a conversation about work ethic and entitlement, the choreographer is reminded of a tale and decides to share it with her students. Theatrical lighting and music change as Joseph (Duke Rausavljevich) appears on stage - and thus begins the story of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
