LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! Over 100 students from the sixth, seventh and eighth grades at Hommocks School have been using their creative energies and talents to create the school’s latest theatrical production. This week the Hommocks Players take the stage in their rendition of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The show retells the well-known Bible story of Jacob, his favored son Joseph and the eleven brothers who betrayed him. It is a story of treachery and hardship, of love and loyalty, and of making your dreams come true. There is also a wide range of music presented - from Western square dances to 50's Rock n' Roll pieces to Calypso beach strumming. It’s guaranteed to be a fun filled evening for the entire family. Opening night is THURSDAY at 7 p.m. Additional shows are scheduled for FRIDAY at 7 p.m. and SATURDAY at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. Purchase tickets here for your family or be a patron for a family in need so that they can enjoy the show too.
