The Playhouse at White Lake, owned by the City of Whitehall, is ready to welcome guests to two weekends of productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a much larger-scale show than traditionally seen there.
“Joseph” stars 42 local cast members who have been rehearsing for months, including a full children’s choir.
“After welcoming nearly 900 patrons this past weekend alone, we’re thrilled to be off to such a great start, and the hits will just keep coming all summer,” Playhouse marketing director Cindy Beth Davis-Dykema said in a press release. “We’ve never done a full musical of this grand scope and size as part of the Summer Theatre Festival before, so we’re very excited to have the opportunity to showcase both our community’s talent and our beautiful, newly renovated venue.”
Production dates for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat run July 25-27, and the following weekend, Aug. 1-3, with eight showtimes, including matinees at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and evening shows at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday both weekends of the production.
"Joseph is a huge show and no matter how many times you watch it, you still leave the auditorium with a smile and a tune to hum," artistic director Erin Sharpe said in the release. "This cast is insanely talented and I am so excited to have been able to direct a show that has been with me nearly my entire life.”
Tickets to the show are $12 for students, with pay-what-you-can seating for certain shows and $25 matinee seats, with $30 evening tickets. Season tickets offer discounts to those who wish to use them flexibly between friends and productions throughout the season.
The box office is open at The Playhouse at White Lake from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and one hour prior to all showtimes. Seats are reserved and accommodations are available for those with hearing support needs.
