More than 50 actors and actresses from the Grand Valley will take the stage during The Theater Project’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

Performances are set for 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25 and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, at Grand Junction High School auditorium, 1400 N. Fifth St.

“The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father’s favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless,” according to a news release.

“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is directed by Dana Schmidt-Clingman.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the door, beginning one hour prior to each performance. Proceeds from the show benefit the Youth Theater Project, a tuition-free theater and dance program for youth in the Grand Valley.
