Roles
2JOSEPH
Jacob’s second youngest son. He is his father’s favorite and he knows it. He’s handsome, smart and a dreamer but when it comes to reading the room, he’s illiterate. You can’t help but love him! The kids are the only ones privy to his insecurity until the end of the show when he’s reunited with his brothers and must offer and seek forgiveness. Largely inspired by Ferris Bueller with touches of Duckie Dale (Pretty in Pink), Billy Peltzer (The Gremlins) & Brand Walsh (The Goonies).
KIDS CHORUS
Range from budding cinephiles to Teen Magazine obsessives. They make up one or two cliques of kids who are invited into the story by our mystical narrator and discover the power of music, representation, embracing differences and welcoming in “the other”. Our production will feature this group as a participating ensemble rather than vocal viewership, requiring all of them to be strong singers and movers. Two of the kids will be prominently featured as parallels to Joseph and the Narrator.
