Community Players

Players Go Go Go Joseph by Bob McLaughlin and John Lieder The final show of Community Players’ 95th season will be a familiar one: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  This tuneful extravaganza returns to Robinhood Lane for the fourth time. Based on the biblical story, Joseph follows its title character as he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, is taken to Egypt, is unjustly thrown into prison, ingratiates himself with the Pharaoh through his talent for interpreting dreams, and becomes the administrator in charge of husbanding Egypt’s food supply. When his chastened and starving brothers come begging for food, he tests them and sees that they have changed. He forgives them and is reunited with his beloved father, Jacob.

Players Presents Pulitzer Prize-Winning August: Osage County by Bob McLaughlin and John Lieder Community Players’ final drama of the 95th season will be Tracy Letts’s masterwork, August: Osage County. Originally produced by the Steppenwolf Theater Company in Chicago, this family drama has since been staged on Broadway, in London, and around the world. Set in a sprawling country home, just outside Pawhuska, Oklahoma, the play gathers together the Weston family, children, husbands, and grandchildren, after the disappearance of their patriarch, the alcoholic Beverly. Old grudges and fresh resentments surface, spurred on by the biting comments of Violet, Beverly’s cancer-ridden, drug-addicted wife. As in a Eugene O’Neill drama, the deeper into the evening we go, the darker the secrets that are revealed.
