The Salvation Army Kroc Centers Kroc Kids Jr. Theatre Company
Presents
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
A family-friendly musical, with great message!
SAN DIEGO (May 16, 2017) The Kroc Centers Kroc Kids Jr. Theatre Company has been rehearsing for weeks and it is
finally show time! The talented and young performing arts group produces two shows annually and their upcoming show is
a classic: Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webers Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Showtimes will take
,
place, in the state-of-the-art Joan B. Kroc Theatre, on Friday, May 26 7pm to 8:30pm, Saturday, May 27, 7pm to 8:30pm
and Sunday, May 28, 2pm to 3:30pm. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a family-friendly, universal
storyline that is sure to entertain the entire family as well as provide a moral lesson.

Director Michael Anthony has re-imaged the classic story of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, with a
modern message of forgiveness and compassion. Although this is a biblical story, it is relevant to todays youth and their
struggle to find identities in the world, he continues. A dysfunctional family, plots of jealousy and deceit, turn to dire
consequences. There is a universal moral that healing is possible no matter the amount of hurt.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center has embraced this production by promoting a coat drive the week of the performances.
The story of Joseph and his coat is very close to our Salvation Army mission, said Major Rick Peacock, Senior Pastor
and Executive Director of the Kroc Center. We believe in supporting our community. The kids performing this amazing
show, and those less fortunate who could use a donated coat on a cold night. Donations will be accepted in the Arts &
th
Education building through Sunday May 28 .

Experience the magical musical, full of unforgettable songs, including Go Go Joseph, Any Dream Will Do and Close
Every Door with us this May!
