More information about the shows are as follows:

Broadway Bound:
We will present our second class “Broadway Bound” this fall offering a unique experience for children in grades 4-8! All students will benefit as they engage in activities geared towards a well-balanced understanding of the art of musical theater performance from seasoned teachers and performers.
The class will culminate in a production to be performed for family and friends at the lovely MassBay Community College Theater.

This show will be directed by Tiffany Carnuccio.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat:
The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar's wife lands him in jail. When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

This show will be directed and choreographed by Michelle Leibowitz. 

Zanna, Don't!:
Welcome to Heartsville High, set in a world where everyone is gay--well, almost everyone! The big-man-on-campus is the chess champion, and the captain of the football team is made cool by being cast as the lead in the school musical. The students write a controversial show called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" about straight people in the military, which becomes the catalyst for a young man and woman to fall in love. Enter Zanna, a magical, musical fairy who, with a wave of his wand, brings true love to one and all!

This show will be directed and choreographed by Laura Espy and music directed by Christine Kasparian.
