Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
7/8/26-8/15/26
Taproot Theatre, www.taproottheatre.org
Joseph is a dreamer. Betrayed and enslaved, he rises again with faith, forgiveness, and a dazzlingly colorful coat. This beloved family-friendly tale bursts with pop, gospel, calypso, and rock. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s musical comedy classic invites all generations to experience a vibrant, heartfelt celebration of hope.
 
Macbeth
7/9/26-8/16/26 (various area parks, free/donation)
Wooden O/Union Arts Center, www.unionartscenter.org
Three witches. One prophecy. A power-couple who will stop at nothing to seize the throne. Shakespeare’s most electrifying thriller has it all: dark magic, ruthless ambition, spectacular downfalls, and one of the most iconic predictions in the last 500 years.
