BLIND FAITH PRODUCTIONS & THE FREDERICTON PLAYHOUSE PRESENT

A dazzling, family friendly story, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, is the first musical by legendary theatrical team Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice. Created for a British school choir, the first performance on a cold winter afternoon on March 1, 1968 was only 20 minutes long. Joseph continued to grow, both in length and in popularity, receiving major productions in London and on Broadway.

This colorful retelling of the biblical story about Joseph, his prophetic dreams, his wondrous adventures and his designer coat sings out to young and old alike. With direction and musical direction by Shawn Henry, and assistant direction by Dawn Sadoway this production of Joseph will leave you wanting more. The score includes a variety of musical styles and wall-to-wall hits, including “Close Every Door”, “Go, Go Go Joesph” and “Any Dream Will Do”.

With direction and musical direction by Shawn Henry, this production of Joseph will return to the roots of the original performance and incorporate a children’s choir as an integral part of the show.

August 28 at 7:30pm and August 29 & 30 at 2pm and 7:30pm at The Fredericton Playhouse.

SHAWN HENRY is an actor, singer, writer, and director born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick. His foray into the world of the performing arts began at the age of 12 with the song and dance troupe Characters Incorporated. Though they traveled the world, it was through that group that he began to cherish the artistic community that exists in New Brunswick. Shawn holds a Bachelor of Music from Dalhousie University, and taught music in Toronto for 15 years before returning home to Fredericton a few years ago. A member of the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Cooperative, Shawn was the recipient of the NB Joy Film Award and the Short Film Venture Award for his short film script Il Sole

(currently in post-production) at The Silver Wave Film Festival.

Shawn’s observance of the deep connectivity of people in this community is what prompted him to found Blind Faith Productions. The name truly resonates with Shawn as to why he returned to New Brunswick – acting solely on the feeling that great things awaited him. In August 2013, the company debuted their first theatrical production when Next To Normal opened to rave reviews and nearly sold out audiences.

Shawn also recently directed the final instalment of Christmas @theplayhouse as well as Tonight’s the Night: An Evening of Comedy and Song – a fundraiser for The York Community Foundation which featured prominent New Brunswick artists. Most recently he served as music director for St. Thomas University’s production of Spring Awakening, directed by Dawn Sadoway, and is currently the Executive Director of the NB Choral Federation.

InstructorGo Go Go JosephSummer Camp! The Go Go Go Joseph Summer Camp combines 3 artistic disciplines – singing, acting and movement – into one exciting course.
