As we prepare for our upcoming production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” many of us at the Playhouse are reflecting on the special history this show holds at our theatre.

We’re excited to welcome back many familiar faces who have been part of Joseph over the years, but this production will also be bittersweet, as it will be the first time we present the show without two of our dearly departed friends, Jason Carl Crase and Chris Waterman. So today, we invite you to take a stroll down memory lane with us to our 2016 production, with Jason as Joseph and Chris as Dan, one of Joseph’s brothers. Among the many memories from that production is one of our favorites: Chris appearing as Austin Powers during the “Go, Go, Go Joseph” number. These photos capture Jason, Chris, and so many wonderful performers who helped make that production and the ones before it so special. As Colin Kelly steps into the role of Joseph this season, we know Jason would have welcomed him with open arms and been proud to see him carry the torch forward. That’s one of the beautiful things about community theatre: the faces may change through the years, but the memories of those who came before us remain part of every production that follows. 📸 @goforth_photography
