Danbury Cultural Commission has underwritten the 2016 season at Musicals at Richter which opened with a spirited ‘Hello, Dolly!’ and continued with the wonderful dancing in ‘Footloose.’ The regular season at CT’s longest running outdoor theatre closes with a rainbow production of the Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber classic, ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.’ Jane Matson, the choral director at Newtown HS where she directed ‘Joseph’ back in 2012, made her directorial debut at this venue; her experience working with young performers was evident in the youth-friendly choices that she made.

‘Joseph’ runs under the stars through August 6. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and students (with ID), and $10 for children 10 and under. For the additional Thursday performances on July 28 and August 4, tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $5 for children 10 and under. Tickets may be purchased through the Musicals at Richter website (www.musicalsatrichter.org) or at the door. Grounds open at 7:15 p.m. for picnicking, with curtain at 8:30 p.m. It was warm enough on Sunday that I didn’t need a winter coat, but I put on my hooded sweatshirt for protection against the bugs; don’t forget the bug spray!
