Who remembers Joseph 2001? 🤩

The UMEI Community Players last did Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat back in 2001 under the direction of Helen Brown. 26 years later, we are bringing it back! Fun fact - music directors Alyssa Epp and Erin Armstrong were both in this show, and technical director Nicholas Driedger wasn’t even born yet!
