Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Idaho Summer Repertory is proud to offer our version under the direction of Lisa Woodland, June 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, and 23. All shows start at 7:30 pm and will take place in the Bistline Theatre, Stephens Performing Arts Center. The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in the 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. http://www.isu.edu/stephens/tickets.shtml (208) 282-3595

Wesley's Celebration!
Wesley Johnson is 7 years old and fighting brain cancer! His parents, Cody and Aimee are struggling, and we are coming together as a community to help them out! The celebration includes a "Wish Ride" for Wes. Over 200 motorcyclists have committed to meet at Rexburg Motor Sports at 4:15 to be organized into a ride through town to escort Wesley to his Fundraiser Dinner. They will loop up around the temple, down main and back down around the round-about where Wes, who will be in the front of the pack, will be able to see all the support he has. They will then hit the highway and head out to Burton Elementary (right by the new Madison High School) where the fundraiser is being held. A full potato bar dinner (salad, roll, loaded spuds and dessert) will be served, $5/plate or $20/family. There will be cotton candy, a candy bar "bar" and a very nice raffle that has been put together. The National Guard has committed to bring their obstacle course and we have a bouncy house. The "Wesley Warrior" riders will line up their bikes for "admiration", and Monster Energy Drinks is coming out to put on a display. They are bringing stunt riders and the Monster Girls. It will be a great event for a great kid, with 100% of proceeds going to the Johnson Family. The riders will meet at Rexburg Motor Sports at 4:15, the main event is from 5pm - 8pm at Burton Elementary in Rexburg.
