On Friday, April 9th sixteen of us traveled in the shuttle bus to Lancaster, Pa. to the Millenium Theater to see the new production of the life of Joseph. (Thank you Ronnie for driving us). This 2-1/2 hour production is among the favorites which I have seen; the sets were beautiful as were the costumes, the music, and actors. The animals are wonderfully trained and right on cue. If you could not attend I encourage you to go in the future; the production will run through October, 2010. The story of Joseph was very close to the Bible narrative. We also enjoyed a meal together at an Amish restaurant before the show.
