Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is now on stage at the Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in Stafford County.
One of the most enduring shows of all time, this gem from Andrew Lloyd Webber uses the biblical story of Joseph—and a handful of popular song types to tell a universal story of dreamers: people from broken families who struggle to make the best of what they have, to trust in themselves, and most importantly, to see courage in forgiveness. Bursting with energy, this is the ultimate family experience that will leave you dancing in the aisles and exiting the theatre with a smile on your face.
Stafford will hold its annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Friday, May 26, at 10 a.m. at the Armed Services Memorial located on the campus of the George L. Gordon, Jr., Government Center, 1300 Courthouse Road, Stafford.
